The Hayward Fault: Predictable Peril - KQED QUEST

October 21st will mark the 141st Anniversary of the 1868 Hayward Earthquake. Geologists say that's important because major earthquakes happen on the Hayward fault every 140 years on average. With much of the East Bay on or near the fault, geologists and community members are working to prepare for what may be the next big one.

Look at New Madrid its going to have the Same Problems as the bay area but larger because if a 7.0 and above were to happen in the New Madrid fault in the next 20 years it would have destruction Bigger than Haiti Quake because the Entire Eastern Half of the USA Emergency services are more focused to Hurricanes and Tornadoes.

Look at Eureka 6.5 2010 quake it just happened 4 days before the 2010 7.0 Haiti Quake. If a 7.0 or above were to happen on the Hayward fault we would have the same problems as Haiti.
