Major Quake On Hayward Fault Expected ‘Any Day Now’

July 21, 2015

While a 2008 report put the probability of a 6.7-magnitude or larger earthquake on the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault system over the next 30 years at 31 percent, Brocher said the reality is a major quake is expected on the fault “any day now.”

“The past five major earthquakes on the fault have been about 140 years apart, and now we’re 147 years from that 1868 earthquake, so we definitely feel that could happen any time,” Brocher said.

Don't come here. We're expecting a 9.0+ any day now on the Cascadia subduction zone.
