Yesterday, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft gave Endeavour a piggyback ride from Houston to Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert.

Another scorcher in the Media City. The temperature leaped the 100 degree mark early this afternoon. At 2 p.m. it was 102!

An excessive heat warning went into effect this morning through late evening for portions of the valleys and mountains in So Cal.

12:20 p.m. Wednesday More rattling and rolling in So Cal — and again, most of it near Yorba Linda. At around 9:33 a.m. this morning, a 4.5 quake near that city — followed by a 3.4 shaker also not far from Yorba Linda. No reports of damage or injuries, but probably a lot of frayed nerves in that town. Did […]
