Happy California Admission Day! On September 9, 1850, California became the 31st state, just two years after a discovery that changed everything: gold. The rush that followed grew California's population from under 1,000 people to nearly 100,000 in less than two years. 🧪 ⚒️

The nugget has a rough, lumpy surface with bright gold coloring on its upper facets and darker brown oxidized rock or matrix material clinging to its lower portion.Front page of "The Californian" newspaper, published by B.R. Buckelew in San Francisco, dated March 15, 1848. A short item headlined "Gold Mine Found" reports that gold has been found in considerable quantities in the raceway of Captain Sutter's newly built sawmill on the American Fork, noting one person had already gathered thirty dollars' worth in a short time.

CGS recently released Map Sheet 48, a statewide shaking-intensity map based on USGS's 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model. Here's what it shows. #earthquake 1/3
Map of California titled 'Earthquake Shaking Potential,' published by the California Geological Survey. The state is shaded using the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, ranging from pale yellow (VI, Strong Shaking) through orange and red to dark maroon (XI, Devastating Shaking), showing the level of ground shaking expected from future earthquakes.
The darkest red and maroon areas run along the coastal mountain ranges and major fault zones, most intensely through the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside corridor and across the San Francisco Bay Area. The Central Valley, including the Sacramento area, along with parts of the northern Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe, appear in lighter yellow and pale orange tones, indicating comparatively lower but still present shaking potential. A legend on the right explains the six intensity levels shown, and the map includes a Drop, Cover, and Hold On safety graphic in the lower left.

🌊 #Tsunami are a series of powerful waves often caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. As tsunami waves approach the shore, they build in size, their currents intensify, and they become a threat to life & property. Go to tsunami.ca.gov for more information.
Color graphic showing how a tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. The ocean floor moves vertically, displacing a large amount of water. Waves are generated and move out in all directions across the ocean, some traveling as fast as 600 miles per hour. As waves enter shallow water nearshore, they compress, their speed slows, and they build in height. The wave height increases, and associated currents intensify, becoming a threat to life and property.
