...Hi CS! Hopefully it won't escalate. :\ I would never want to see that.  Quoting: Simple27 Hopefully not. Me neither. Those 4.0 quakes this morning all in succession were soooooooo weird though... And the 4.0 that hit San Francisco was, once again, on the Hayward Fault.  ABC 7 was reporting on TV when I got home and they're still saying that big one on the Hayward Fault can happen "any day now". They've really been pushing that for the past month or so now. Like REALLY pushing it...daily. That whole West Coast area. Maybe they'll cause the GLP effect because they talk about it so much!  Wow - daily? I didn't realize they were STILL pushing it daily. What's up with that? Anyway, re: GLP effect, maybe they're hoping they will cause that? Maybe not daily...that may have been an exaggeration, but maybe not. I'd have to seriously look. But it seems like every time I turn around I'm seeing something about it.

The quick jolt struck conveniently just before everyone’s morning alarms went off, serving as a wakeup call for the day, and as this season’s broader “wakeup call” reminder that there are big active seams in the crust inching along around and below our cities.

Twenty Photos of the 1906 San Francisco EarthquakeOn April 18th, 1906 at 5:12 in the morning, the coast of Northern California was hit by an earthquake that is considered to be the worst natural disaster in the state's history. The quake pre-dated the Richter scale measurement by thirty years; experts estimate the magnitude of the quake on the modern moment magnitude scale as anywhere from 7.8 to 8.25.
