East Bay Earthquakes! Should we be worried??
Hey everyone,
I'm from the San Ramon area and we have had a multitude of earthquakes the past week. We're talking about 200 plus earthquakes last week and 408 earthquakes since 10/13. We just now started getting news coverage after we had 2, one 3.2 magnitude and one 3.6 magnitude, earthquakes back to back in San Ramon. I have seen different news coverages from channel 4 or 7 saying that this is normal but we are still getting constant attention from the USGS. I am personally having a meeting with my family just in case a much bigger earthquake does occur so we will be ready when the time comes. We are getting so many earthquakes here that I was woken up 3 times last night, 10/26 by some pretty good earthquakes. Just would like to leave this up for discussion about any earthquakes you have experienced in the area over the past couple of days and/or if you will be preparing for a much bigger earthquake or even think that this will blow over. Below is a link to an article in the Contra Costa Times http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_2...-san-francisco

I'm good. I've got MRE's in the back of the FRS. I just gotta boogie my way to san fran if the big one hits.
In terms of ones i have felt, the only one was the NAPA earthquake, and i felt that on the ship. It was a weird feeling!

Unfortunately the house I'm currently living in is built right on top of a fault line, with the epicenter being about a quarter mile away. I feel every little shake that fault produces and like I said in my first post, I had woken up multiple times to earthquakes that are shaking the whole house.

Unfortunately we have 2 fault lines in San Ramon, the one that is the most active is the one that runs through Alcosta Blvd (I can't remember it's name) and that's epicenter is the intersection at crow canyon road near the crow canyon country club.
We also have a much much bigger fault line that is on the other side of the freeway from Alcosta Blvd and it's what created all the hills over there. It's known as the Calaveras fault and thats the northern end of it. This fault line merges down south with the hayward fault and goes all the way down to San Jose. People are predicting a big earthquake to happen on the Hayward fault which will effect all of the bay area as it goes from San Jose all the way through hayward, castro valley, pinole, union city, oakland, to Berkley. With San Ramon being on the other side of the hill from those cities we also have our own (Calaveras) fault to worry about. These small earthquakes we have been having usually mean that it's relieving pressure from the plates and is helping us not have a huge one. However, we are having multiple 3 magnitude earthquakes and have been warned by the USGS that possible 4's may be upon San Ramon.

But. From my last post all I was stating were facts about where the faults are located geographically and I took some "predictions" from the USGS which has stated warnings for the San Ramon residences. Not in any way am I making my own predictions because I dont have a bachelors in geography or tectonic plate movement theory. But I would also like to add about why would it matter if I had any military/police training with what I said? Like I said, in my post, I was only stating facts given out from USGS and geological facts of where faults were located. I am not in any means trying to say "OMG WE ARE DUE FOR THE BIG ONE BLAH BLAH WERE ALL DOOMED BETTER GO PACK NOW AND MOVE THA FUCK OUTA HERE!" And again.. I hope theres no hard feelings

Of course there are no hard feelings and I appreciate you making that clear. Just giving my two cents is all and I gathered from the title "should we be worried" as a sign of maybe you were reaching out for advise. And for the record MisterSheep, you're alright in my book

USGS says 75%+ chance of a 6.7 along the entire SA fault system in the next 30 years.
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article...6#.Vi_XBG4iGJQ No there won't be a zombie apoc unless a 8.0 or greater hits either SF/Oakland/SJ or Los Angeles Metro areas. Chances of this are recently pegged at 7%. To have Zombie apoc repercussions (breakdown of society, mass lawlessness, out of control viral outbreak) we'll need a shallow 8.0 or greater accompanied by another catastrophic event (tsunami/nuclear meltdown/disease). This has to happen in the metro areas. Chances are greatest of a San Andreas hit in the central valley and mountains surrounding the L.A. Basin. Once again these are rated at 6.7ish with near full certainty in the next 30 years. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...310-story.html The Cascadia Subduction Zone running from Nor Cal to Canada and out to sea has the potential to produce a major quake and tsunami that all Northern Californians to PNWers should be very well prepped for but that is outside of the scope of this post http://www.seattlepi.com/national/ar...ke-4596707.php To prepare for a San Andreas fault hit everyone in California (excluding the greater San Diego area) should have their furniture earthquake strapped with loose items on shelves secured. All should have a plan rehearsed as to what they will do in various scenarios (e.g. separated from family with no cel phone service. home is not safe to enter, etc). All should have a basic 72 hour earthquake kit and 1-2 weeks of water stored in HC grade containers. This should include a VERY good first aid kit. Some method of human waste disposal. Wind up flashlights, and a radio, blankets, etc. The food in your home should suffice if rationed, but you can also go the whole prepper dehydrated food/MRE route. This is one of the better guides I've seen for a kit. http://thesweethome.com/reviews/emergency-preparedness/ This isn't some weird crazy "git ur guns / FEMA's comin' to enslave u!" prepper shit. It's basic responsibility for someone living in an active seismic zone like CA. Dumb preppers that only have food and ammo will suffer in the more likely 3 day to 2 week scenario without water, a place to poop, communications and first aid. Realistic scenarios will include those needs over tacticool gear and paranoia. Also there are tons of resources about this subject directly from the State of California Earthquake Authority, Shakeout.org and the USGS. http://www.earthquake.ca.gov/ http://shakeout.org/resources/ http://www.usgs.gov/state/state.asp?State=CA Sorry to sound preachy. The better our family, friends, neighbors and strangers are ready, the better this thing will turn out when it hits. And it is going to hit. Last edited by DAEMANO; 10-28-2015 at 01:44 AM. |

Well, no one can say when the "big one" will hit. I was a kid when the "a" big one hit San Fran and the double layer bridge fell, and when the Northridge one hit. Lucky our house was not damaged, but my dad didn't go to work for a few days due to his boss freaked out and split CA with out giving them their paychecks.
Anyway, our family had a plan just in case the shit hit the fan. We would pack up the essentials and go to our aunts in either Texas, Washington, or Mexico. So it never hurts to plan for the "big one".

usually multiple small ones are a good thing since the plates are gradually moving rather than moving drastically. If they moved drastically at once than you would get a bigger magnetite quake
