Indian Domestic Wind Regulation, German Offshore Bid

] Um, but we've had earthquakes off the coast of. California where, you know, they're like four point something or five something, and that actually triggers a tsunami warning that's potentially more serious because of the close proximity.

] That's the thing that happens fast, like super fast, and they can detect it. Anyway, so we've de we've developed an early warning system when, when we have issues and inclusive of, uh, you know, tsunami warnings. But I'm, I'm kind of, you know, 300 feet up, so I have less to worry about.

Allen Hall: Well, welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

I'm Allen Hall from the Queen City, Charlotte, North Carolina. Joel Saxum is down in Texas, and Phil Totaro of IntelStor is in Cali. Phil, you had a tsunami alert just recently. Did you see any waves in your neighborhood?

Phil Totaro: No 'cause it didn't actually amount to anything. And that's good, right?

Phil Totaro: It it, have you had tsunami warnings like that in the past?

Y yes. And actually more serious ones from earthquakes that are smaller than the 8.8 that was in Russia that caused this one. [

Uh, so we actually developed, uh, in California an early detection and warning system that is triggered, um, you know, mobile phone, uh, alerts and updates based on the, the detection of the P waves from an earthquake.

Allen Hall: What's a P wave?

Joel Saxum: P Wave is down, ShearWave is left and right. So sheer wave would be moving this way.

P wave would be moving up and down.

Phil Totaro: The P waves, um, are the first indication on, you know, like for the US geological survey, they've got those things that, you know, monitor the, the, um, vibration of the earth or whatever it is that they're monitoring. Um, a P wave will be the first thing triggered when there's an actual earthquake.

Allen Hall: It's a good place to be.
