Wait, that's CO? All over the Pacific coast? Ouch, what happened there?

I'm surprised there isn't more out there on this. But it's been reported as a possible release along fault lines. Gas releases like this have been documented before earthquakes before, so there's some concern there.

However, I found reports last night that at least a few days old ground based sensors were not corroborating the satellite data.

So...it could be a sign of "The Big One." It could be a sensor glitch. Or, it could be just some weird release of gas.

Looks like it could be attributed to forest fires in the area(s) as well.

Ah, it's probably just an interdimensional rift. Occupational Californian hazard, you know.
