(CBS SF) — 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.

The quake caused some BART delays early today while work crews checked the tracks, but appears to have caused no major damage. At least 13 smaller quakes or aftershocks have been reported near the same location as of 6:42 a.m., the largest of which was a 2.7-magnitude at 2:56 a.m.

Fourteen years ago woud've been 9-11. OK. But what was 7 years ago? oh...The Bamster getting elected?

Oh, nothing much, just largest single day stock market drop in the history of Wall Street. By the way, the previous record was in the 7 year cycle previous, spurred on, by as you stated, 9-11.

Interestingly enough, *both* these stock market catastrophe's fell on the *exact* same date on the Jewish calendar 29 Elul. 29 Elul falls on a Sunday this time, so the timing would not be as exact, were something to occur...
