BREAKING: California On HIGH ALERT- Authorities Release Statement- Here's What We Know
Scientists are now saying that the "Big One" in California may not be caused by
the San Andreas fault line, but by the Hayward Bay fault line.
It is now thought to be the "ticking time bomb" fault line and more dangerous than
the San Andreas.
The scariest scenario for the next major earthquake may not be from the San Andreas Fault (though
that one still threatens), but from the Hayward Fault that runs along the east side of the
San Francisco Bay.
In fact, many say that the next earthquake on the Hayward Bay fault line would be "disastrous."
According to KTUV, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake along the Hayward Fault could kill as many
as 800 people and injure 18,000, according to results of a new research released Wednesday.
The U.S. Geological Survey, citing findings from a simulated tremor with an epicenter
in Oakland, said the disaster would cause 400 fires that could destroy 50,000 homes.
Nearly half a million people would be displaced, authorities said.
The simulated quake in the video above, known as the "HayWired scenario," was modeled
to occur at 4:18 p.m. on April 18.
It replicates a rupture along the fault's entire 52-mile length, from San Pablo Bay
in the north to just east of San Jose in the south.
According to this model, the violent shaking from the earthquake could cause the two sides
of the fault to split six feet apart in some places.
Some of the aftershocks would continue for several months as well.
Cities in the East Bay would be hit hard, including Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro,
and Hayward.
If a 7.0 magnitude quake occurred like the one simulated, researchers say that the East
Bay residents could be without water from anywhere between six weeks to six months.
Electricity could be out for up to four weeks in some locations.
According to Business Insider, the statistical chances of this type of an earthquake occurring
are not very comforting either.
There's about a 76% chance that the San Francisco Bay Area could experience a 7.2
magnitude earthquake within the next 30 years, according to some recent reports.
The San Andreas Fault under San Francisco rumbled apart about 112 years ago, causing
the devastating 1906 earthquake that swallowed city blocks, broke water mains, and triggered
massive fires that burned for days.
However, the threat of another major quake for the Bay Area is "real and could happen
at any time," according to researchers for the US Geological Survey.
The Hayward Fault is a "tectonic time bomb, due any time for another magnitude 6.8 to
7.0 earthquake," according to a 2008 USGS report.
Since then, research has indicated that the likelihood of a Hayward quake is greater and
more threatening to the 7 million Bay Area residents than a San Andreas quake would be.
"It's just waiting to go off," USGS earthquake geologist emeritus David Schwartz
warned when speaking to the Los Angeles Times.

Invest in the Future of California - Duration: 1:18.
A key might seem like a simple thing. But the right key applied in the right
way can open doors. Unleash power. Generate income. Even change the world.
For millions of Californians, the California State University is their key.
But for California to prosper, the state needs an additional 1.1 million college
graduates in the next 12 years. If fully funded, the CSU could provide nearly half
that number by 2030. Full funding is the key to the CSU's ability to welcome more
students and enhance graduation rates while maintaining our reputation for
extraordinary academic programs and career ready graduates. Yet the state's
current budget proposal is 171 million dollars less than what the CSU needs to
fulfill those priorities. Without adequate funding, the CSU will be forced
to consider difficult choices like limiting enrollment or reducing courses
and class offerings. CSU graduates are the key to California's ongoing
prosperity and success. Continuing to ensure that success is central to the
CSU's purpose. Fully funding the CSU is the key to it all.

Have you heard about the expeditions in California?
If you haven't already heard, our own president James Polk has announced the beginning of a gold rush. (Essay)
Better yet, mining isn't the entire California experience.
Cooking, washing, and the selling of many goods from gold to horses are just a few of the jobs you can get here. (Doc 8, 16, and Essay)
If this isn't convincing enough, the amount of money made will definitely alter your view.
16 dollars a day, which is enough to feed and shelter an entire family of five for a week, so think about the possibilities for you and your family. (Doc 11 and 12)
The California experience comes with it's drawbacks. The work is very tedious, and at times it can become lonely. (Doc 1 and 15)
Now that you've heard a bit about California, consider the possible ways to get here. You can travel here by land or sea.
Sea travel is quicker and easier, but more expensive. It may seem worse, but know that land travel is more treacherous. (Essay)
If you decide to go by land, know that the best time to travel is when the grass starts to green up, because this ensures that your oxen have plenty to eat. (Essay)
