Reply #35: it was the Hayward fault

[CountAllVotes]

I know all about this fault. It has been lying silent for many years now. The last time it went off big time was in the late 1950s. I remember the stories about it as my uncle lived in the east bay. He said it was a heavy jolting motion and that the lawn looked like it had waves in it. It was less than a 6.0 I remember hearing but this particular fault is a dangerous one and it is feared that the next big quake could be on this particular fault - not to be confused with the San Andreas fault.

There is a lot of the news about it where I live showing spots of damage throughout Oakland/Berkeley/Piedmont and Montclair. It looks like a lot of damage for only a 4.2 but that is because the fault runs right through this region.

:scared: in any event. Let's hope the Hayward fault lies quiet for another 50+ years huh?
