PRE-SHOCKER EARTHQUAKE HITS HAYWARD FAULT
On Tuesday, July 21 a magnitude 4.0 earthquake hit the San Francisco Bay Area. Scientists say that there is a 42% chance of at least a magnitude 7.2 earthquake to hit in the next 30 years. The area has history for earthquakes. A big one usually happens every 90-140 years. This year its been 147.
An earthquake over magnitude 6.0 can be dangerous if near a city. Although the most likely thing to happen to any given person is a shortage of supplies. The best you can do to be prepared for an earthquake (because they are one of the hardest to predict weather predicaments) is stock up on bottled water and dried food, not be afraid and know if you’re on a fault line.
