Geologist Predicts Major N. America Earthquake Imminent
- russell 16y agoUSGS says the probability of a 6.7M or greater in the next 30 years is 63%. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/nca/ucerf/ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/nca/ucerf/ The ripest is the Hayward fault which last erupted 143 years ago. The historical interval over the last 1900 years is about 155 years. It has a probability of 31% in the next 30 years. I work in SF about 10 miles from theHayward fault. Maybe I'll work from home in Cambria > 200 miles away for the next month or so. We already had our earthquake in 2003.
