I fled Petaluma many years ago, for three reasons: Floods, being outvoted in every election by 3:1 and the Rodgers Creek Fault. The town is only a couple miles west of the fault and much of it is built on rubbery clay.

20 years ago, I moved to Fremont, CA for my first real job and got an apartment on Fremont Blvd. About a month after I moved, the San Jose Mercury News had a color-coded graphic on the front page of their Local section showing the level of shaking that would occur if a long-overdue earthquake on the Hayward Fault happened.

My apartment was in a black spot. I was right over the fault. My office was also in black because it was located on “fill.”

“Two of the most dangerous fault lines in the United States”

Obama and Hillary?

They both have MANY faults... and they are very dangerous.

How can we blame fracking and Global Warming for this?

The East Bay hills are made of shale and clay. Very expensive houses with amazing views cling to the hillsides like a fungus. The flats along the Bay are on fill that will definitely be subject to liquefaction. The numero uno disaster scenario is if this baby lets go during winter with that material fully saturated. It would be a total mess.

With some alarmist press releases, some firm comments from the White House, and a number of large tax increases, I’m sure we can find a way to prevent earthquakes from happening...just like we can do the same to keep the climate form changing.

I thought the two worst fault lines meeting in California were Progressivism and massive government debt.
