San - Francisco Earthquake Of Literal And Figurative Wake Up Call

Here's one way I do not want to be woken up, never: Two earthquakes shook the Bay Area of ​​Northern California residents to sleep on Monday utrom.3 5 earthquake rattled at 5:33 am and followed eight seconds later, tremor of 4.0. Up to now, fortunately had not been any reports of significant damage or injuries, but, perhaps more happily, no one has yet accepted the earthquake in San Francisco as the ability to send pictures around the white plastic lawn chair in his party.

Hayward Fault was overdoing for a major earthquake, and although it is not known how female San Andreas, this is another track as it passes through such human oblasti.Grohochet felt during the 60-mile radius that reached from Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa.

The U.S. Geological Survey said in 2003 that the Hayward fault was a 27 percent chance of an earthquake with a magnitude above 6.7 in the Bay area in the next 30 years. No other wine had a higher percentage of errors and makes the Hayward one of the most dangerous in the area.

I believe many Californians thank their lucky stars that an earthquake today was not so destructive as it might have been. Perhaps, cocktails, inspired people to earthquake preparedness more seriously as wine wakes up and stretches his legs.

Because if USGS is correct, it was just a little mini-wake-up call, literally and figuratively. In general, there is a 62 percent chance of the San Francisco area will receive a major earthquake by 2032, regardless of whose "fault" it is.
