The fault that produced a 4.0-magnitude earthquake in Fremont early Tuesday morning is expected to produce a major earthquake “any day now” and Bay Area residents should be prepared, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist said. The 2:41 a.m. earthquake on the border of Fremont and Union City occurred on the Hayward Fault at a depth of 5 miles. The epicenter was at a spot just north of the intersection of Niles Canyon Road and Mission Boulevard.

There was a 4.0 there today.
I’d get the hell out of there, for awhile at least.
I didn’t feel the one that hit at 2L41 am. I guess were doomed. It better not hit while I’m having a colonoscopy. I want to be able to get up and run out of a building.
When I lived in the Bay Area nobody paid any attention to anything under a 5.0.
Good luck to you and yours.
I suspect they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about, but who knows.
Back in the early 90s there was a swarm of about four large quakes down here in the Los Angeles region. I was the medical center liaison with the local city Emergency Preparedness committee (community based).
Around 1994 the leader of the group told us what he had been told from people “in the know” to expect a 7.0 or so about every two years for the next decade.
Naturally it’s been twenty years since we’ve had a larger quake in the greater Los Angeles Region.
I don’t think predictions have gotten much better since back then, but I could be wrong. You should listen to them and take it with a grain of salt.
No problem. Just ask for the extra long colonoscope.
Be very careful about running from a building. Things fall off of them and it can be very dangerous.
A person did just that during the Whitter Narrows quake in the early 90s, and a large ornamental piece weighing tons fell of the front of the building. The person didn’t make it.
You should also be aware of bricks. Any brick buildings are prone to shed them. If you want to see how dangerous that is, Google for cars damaged by bricks during quakes. Your body is far less rugged than a car, and they are almost flattened.
Does the 6.7 Northridge count for that?
Yes, I don't think they have the ability to pinpoint yet.
If the doc gives you the same knockout stuff he gave me, you better hope somebody “rolls” you out...cause you sure as heck won’t be running anywhere.
Wasn’t bad though...woke up hungry.
News at 11!
With lots of gas. Which can be entertaining when you’re coming out of anesthesia... ;-) Just saying.

Bye bye. Say so long to houses, businesses, bridges, people if the so called BIG ONE hits.
The USGS has mapped the faults and found others that were unknown just a few years ago. I’d think this is a good faith warning but going beyond historical probability is probably still a stretch.

They’ve been saying this since the mid ‘50s.
Don’t hold your breath.
I was working in Seattle a few years back when the 6.9 hit. I was on the 35 floor. We were rocking and rolling.

So long to that piece of Chinese junk that they piled up in Oakland!
It’ll come down hard.
ROFL ROFL OMG ROFL ROFL
I felt it. I was up late, and glanced at the clock, 2:41. I’m in South SF across the bay from where the earthquake hit. It was real short, moving the house back and forth west and east for under 5 seconds. Not long enough to bother getting up. The Hayward fault is due for a big one. Generally it lets go some 20 to 30 years after the San Andreas fault does its thing, and that was 1989.
