Anyone seeing major drops the past two days?

I know Barry has posted about it, and Semrush's senor seems to be picking up on stuff, but I have noticed some really odd drops in the past two days for rankings, and odd choices (ex: blog posts from 2023) knocking more recent sites down.

Anyone else?

Sorry Jason just seeing this!

It's been turbulent everyday since I posted, and today's Semsrush sensor is in "Googlequake" territory, and has been climbing for the past week.

Impressions in GSC down as well. Site has no manual actions, no recent redesigns (just a logo change), and nothing (to my eye) crazy as in links loss/etc.

Seeing it with both localized and national terms. Here is a local example for couple weeks:

I have one site in particular that I've been watching that declined quite a bit in January. It seems to have been at the beginning of the month and all organic movement (local pack rankings are fine).
