A new seismic monitoring station in Nicasio received approval from the county last week, part of an effort by the United States Geological Survey to fill the gaps in its expanding earthquake early warning system. Once the station is built later this summer, West Marin residents will be alerted more quickly if a quake hits the area.
The station will be part of ShakeAlert, a warning system developed by U.S.G.S. and a coalition of institutions and agencies. The system, which came online in 2019 and is still being built out, can deliver smartphone alerts to those nearby a few seconds before they feel the shaking from an earthquake.
Exclusive Interview: Adrienne Barbeau on Eco-Horror UNEARTH and Her Legendary Life
Read Drew Tinnin s exclusive interview with horror icon Adrienne Barbeau, now starring in the shocking eco-horror UNEARTH!
“Oh you know what? Forget that. I’m not supposed to talk about that yet.” Those were some of the first words from icon Adrienne Barbeau as we started our conversation about her new horror film,
Unearth. Rest assured, that when the news does come out about a certain horror series she’s been filming, we’ll be the first to report it.
Moving along, I was happy to talk with Barbeau about her performance as Kathryn Dolan, a headstrong but weary farmer struggling to keep her family afloat. It’s some of her best acting in years.

The winds push warm surface waters out to sea, allowing cold, nutrient-rich water to well up from the depths. Scientists believe upwelling is increasing with climate change, but this year is remarkable. Although upwelling can make for productive fishing, it often coincides with drought conditions on land. This year is no exception, and the winds themselves further desiccate the land.

The Coast Guard lowered the flag at its old lifeboat station in Bolinas last week and handed it off to a professor from the College of Marin, which will raze the property this month to create a new marine laboratory. The ceremony marked the end of the historic buildings, but local historians say the decision to demolish one of three remaining lifeboat stations in the Bay Area is based on a faulty report.
