Four urban areas of the San Andreas Fault System in Northern California have accumulated a sufficient amount of energy to produce major earthquakes, a new study finds. Scientists say the region appears to be overdue for a significant quake.
The four areas singled out in the study are: Hayward, Rodgers Creek, northern Calaveras and Green Valley.
In the study, researchers measured fault creep, which is slipping that occurs in the uppermost part of the earth's crust during the time period between large earthquakes on a fault. If no fault creep occurs, then a fault is considered locked and strain will build up until it is released in an earthquake, during which much greater strain is released in a matter of seconds.
Researchers found that three sections of the San Andreas Fault system in Northern California -- Hayward, Rodgers Creek and Green Valley -- are either near or past their average recurrence interval and have accumulated sufficient strain to trigger earthquakes of magnitude 6.8 or greater.

So says every scientist for the last 100 years.
Sure it may trigger by the time I hit the send button, but it's possible no one alive today will ever see a major earthquake in California in their lifetime.

I knew this would happen as soon as Miss St. Was ranked first and the royals made the world series

Wonder if this means property values in Northern California will depreciate enough to become affordable...

I hope CJ is alright.

God uses natural mechanisms in judgement, no doubt about that. Of course, just as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, people will not turn to God.

Why do people worry about earthquakes and other potential natural disasters? There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent it so worrying about it is stupid.
