GOES West captured von Kármán vortices streaming around Guadalupe Island this morning. These cloud formations typically occur when the prevailing wind is diverted by elevated land features such as islands, mountaintops, or volcanoes. More cloud science at: noaa.gov/jetstream/clouds

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA.
Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs.
It's a big place.

The USGS produces a nice quantification of the risk of aftershocks. 7% chance of another M5 and less than 1% chance of being followed by a M6.

Today's M5.2 is the largest quake near the Elsinore fault since I came to California in 1983. But there were quite a few M4s along the way. A junior sibling to the San Andreas, the Elsinore is long enough to have given us some bigger events

Friday thought: There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy (the Milky Way), but let’s say Earth is so rare that there’s an average of just 1 planet with intelligent life per galaxy. There would still be about *2 trillion* planets like ours in the observable universe!
