California’s Early-warning System For Quakes Gets Some Upgrades
California’s early-warning earthquake alert system, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, is getting some upgrades which could mean earlier alerts, even before shaking begins. And the upgrades go beyond California – they will be available to Oregon and Washington as well, especially when it comes to some of the most powerful quakes. We get the latest on the ShakeAlert upgrades with Robert de Groot, operations team lead for the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System, which is managed by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Ahead of Pat Sajak’s final episode as the host of “Wheel of Fortune,” Vanna White paid an emotional tribute to her co-host of more than 40 years. On Thursday’s episode of the beloved game show, White honored Sajak’s work and their friendship with a video segment that featured clips and photos tracing their collaboration from the 1980s to the present. “As this chapter of our lives is coming to an end, I know you’ll still be close by. You’re like a brother to me and I consider you a true lifelong friend who I will always adore,” she said. “I love you, Pat.” Today on AirTalk, we look back at Pat Sajak’s tenure, having been its longtime host following Chuck Woolery’s departure, with Maira Garcia, television editor for the Los Angeles Times.
