Going into the field this afternoon, so we'll see how well my phone works!

Might be to far away to be a primary crack if it really is near Trona

Updated SCSN locations + USGS Focal Mechanism
I am sending a friend to look for cracking along 178 where lineaments intersect highway
I am in Reno, have access to 4x4 truck, dGPS, drone, camera, etc. Can mobilize asap.
One of the Sentinel frames covering the event (path 71) potentially would have had an acquisition today about 5 hours before the event - which would be interesting! They last imaged that frame on the 22nd, so it may not have been acquired this pass.
The more densely covered track was last imaged on the 28th (path 64), so we are looking at another 6 days before the first postseismic acquisition. They've been observing that path every 6 days, so there was probably an image taken today, but that'd be ~12 hours before the other one. Either way, some potential for study of the time period immediately before the earthquake, but not much chance of a short postseismic unless UAVSAR flies or ALOS-2 has some imagery. I haven't checked the ALOS-2 archive.
The groups generating standard products are likely to have some good versions of the interferograms, although I expect that some of the people at ESA might be the first ones to generate an interferogram.
First UCERF3-ETAS simulations done, plots are here:
https://github.com/kevinmilner/ucerf3-etas-results/tree/master/2019_07_04-SearlesValleyM64-includeSpont-full_td-10yr
I will continue to update that page over the next day, and it will take about 6 hours to get to 100k simulations.
Initial results show about a 1 in 400 chance of a M7 aftershock in the next day, probabilities highest on the Tank Canyon and Garlock faults.

Site is near several that Rachel Terry and I occupied in March as part of our SCEC project. Seeing if we can get hold of vehicles to redeploy some of those stations near Ridgecrest. Possible targets:

I checked quickly the OpenTopography map of the US Interagency Elevation Inventory I don't see any high resolution topography coverage. There might be some out there, maybe others know.
I just put together some screen caps from the SCSN locations (http://www.scsn.org/), highlighted the Airport Lake fault, and added the USGS focal mechanism (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci38443183/moment-tensor) in the attached graphic.
Just submitted UCERF3-ETAS aftershock simulations, will update in an hour or so when results start to come in

There is a cabled PDA (circa early 2000) as mentioned by Elizabeth. It's screen is not reliable, as is the same for its stylus. Last year, I have searched for updates but I am given to understand that Trimble (purchased RefTek) has given up supporting updates to cabled connections for the RT-130 using Apple mobile devices because the Apple cable types tend to change too frequently.
There are 4 RT-130 WIFI controllers in Pasadena: 2 were purchased by Marcos Alvarez and 2 by Sue Hough. These wireless controllers specifically require an iOS-based software called IFSC, which is currently only available to iPhones or iPads.
Currently, I have a USGS iPad Mini I use as my field backup, as well as other office tasks, and a refurbished iPad_ provided by Shane, which is in my drawer as the refurbished iPad has internal battery life span problems*. Thus, I currently use my personally purchased iPhone X to comminicate with the RT-130s while I do fieldwork for various tasks, including operating the RT-130s. I also have two external batteries that I purchased through my task budget which I found to be useful as field temperatures have a direct bearing on the battery life span of the internal battery of the iPhone and iPad mini.
*I just recalled its status as I previously mistaken that I gave the refurbished iPad to Elizabeth; rather, I think I gave Elizabeth the cables for the refurbished iPad because the iPad had battery life span issues; years back, I gave another iPad to Morgan.
phew! not much shaking

hello from rainy NoCA
Here is an attachment!
Just a test- where we will check on surface rupture.
