The Franklin Fire has engulfed parts of Malibu, California, forcing thousands to flee their homes. The blaze, which ignited near Pepperdine University late Monday night, has exploded in size. Dry conditions, dense vegetation, and powerful Santa Ana winds fuel the fire's explosive growth.   As of Wednesday morning, the fire had consumed nearly 4,000 acres and was only 7% contained. Firefighters are battling the flames on steep, rugged terrain, facing challenging conditions, including low humidity and the persistent threat of powerful wind gusts. These "sundowner winds" have been particularly problematic, pushing the fire in unpredictable directions and making it difficult to establish containment lines.   🛰️ Satellite-detected burning, proprietary data from Opterrix, shows fire growth mainly on the west and northwest sides of the fire perimeter.

A powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California in Humboldt County this morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The quake, which hit around 10:44 a.m. local time, triggered a tsunami warning from the National Weather Service (NWS) for coastal areas. The earthquake was felt throughout much of Northern California, with residents in San Francisco reporting a rolling motion that lasted several seconds. Aftershocks followed the main quake. The USGS issued a yellow alert, indicating localized but minimal damage. An estimated 5.3 million people were within the tsunami warning zone, and over 1.3 million people were close enough to the epicenter to have felt the tremor. #Earthquake #Tsunami

As we wrap up the #30DayMapChallenge, let's shine a light on what makes Opterrix truly exceptional. Our platform empowers you to quickly load, style, and join vast datasets, enabling you to uncover valuable insights in record time. Take, for instance, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) storm events database, encompassing every storm event since 1950. Opterrix not only loads this data rapidly but also allows you to: • Visualize events by type, gaining instant clarity into patterns and trends. • Filter down to specific event types, focusing your analysis on areas of interest. • Join massive datasets with geographic boundaries, such as US county information, to reveal deeper correlations and insights. This is just a glimpse into Opterrix's power. Our platform is designed by insurers for insurers and leverages cutting-edge advancements in meteorology, data science, AI, and cloud computing to revolutionize the insurance value chain. Empower your team to make informed decisions, optimize risk management, and achieve superior business outcomes.

The topic of Day 27 of the #30DayMapChallenge: Water. Our oceans are facing a hidden threat: microplastics. This map, based on data from NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's NCEI, reveals the extent of the problem. Microplastics endanger marine life and disrupt delicate ecosystems like salt marshes and mangrove forests, which are crucial for healthy coastlines. #GIS #DataVisualization #MapsMatter #Cartography

For #30DayMapChallenge (Day 26: Map Projections), we explored a new perspective in Opterrix: tropical systems as seen from the North Pole! It's surprising how far north these IBTrACS best track lines (since 1990) extend. While they may transition to extra-tropical cyclones, they can still impact regions such as Iceland, Greenland, and Scandinavia! #GIS #DataVisualization #MapsMatter #Cartography

How will this winter's temperatures impact your business? Our Day 25 of the #30DayMapChallenge heat map shows the Climate Prediction Center's outlook.
