chance of earthquake?
it either happens or it doesn’t.
50-50 the way i see it.
I recently read several articles which said that geologists fear that the greatest danger is from smaller, as yet, unidentified and unmapped faults..they could go off on their own, or be the trigger for a much bigger one..
The account overlooks a significant quake in Hayward in 1868.
I can see the Rodgers Creek fault from my house.
let me guess, this is all due to made made climate changes ?
Having lived most of my life in, or near Memphis, I was always aware of the New Madrid fault that created the massive quake that was felt all the way to the east coast. If it goes off again, it could be catastrophic for much of the US.
Now that I am living in the Philippines, I am well aware of earthquakes, having experienced an 8+ quake this year, and a 6.3 just last week. Every morning I review the daily activity on the national earthquake site,

They show 10 quakes for yesterday alone.
