It's pretty safe to make a prediction thats 18 years out, isn't it, Skippy? 'Cause if you're wrong, nobody'll remember, will they? The uptick in seismic activity has raised concerns among some residents - most of whom are afraid of their own shadows - with fears that the clusters of quakes could be a warning sign of a much larger earthquake. However, experts say the small tremors do not indicate that a major event is imminent. But, the again...
USGS research geophysicist Annemarie Baltay said she is not unusually concerned that the recent earthquakes signal anything larger on the horizon for San Ramon. 'These small events, as all small events are, are not indicative of an impending large earthquake,' Baltay told Patch.
'However, we live in earthquake country, so we should always be prepared for a large event,' she said. 'There is a 72 percent chance of a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake occurring anywhere in the Bay Area between now and 2043. So we should all be aware and be prepared.'

An earthquake in California?
ResponderEliminarTrump's fault!
Not 71%. Not 73%. Did Annemarie used to be a weather girl on local TV?
ResponderEliminarIt's been a while since I reviewed the stats, but more people die each year due to lightning strikes (about 150) than have died from earthquakes in the US since 1989 (year picked to include October 17th 'Frisco quake).
ResponderEliminarAhhh, if only it were so...... Personally, I wouldn't give a shit if everything West of Chiriaco Summit slid into the ocean.....
ResponderEliminarSmall earthquake swarms are good, not bad. They are relieving stress that otherwise would build up until you DID have "the big one".
ResponderEliminarSince our justice system won't fix anything, I hope an earthquake destroys the centers of corruption and the tyrants behind it.
