I remember growing up in Hayward and there was a quake of about 6 or so on the Hayward fault around 1977 or so and we all got under our desks and that's when I became aware of the Hayward fault. It wasn't really well known at the time other than it existed. There wasn't yet an understanding of it's history and potential. Later there were stories about Berkley's stadium and the impact the fault was having in it...the Bay Area is beautiful (well, without so many people it is) but the number of potential disasters waiting to happen now...no thanks.

You always know the possibility of a major quake is there, but it's not something you think about daily. When I started traveling to different states where I could live comfortably, without the need to give an arm and a leg to pay taxes, I ran across people who said, how can you live in California with the threat of earthquakes, and I countered with , how can you live here with the threat of tornadoes and straight line winds.

Hearing from long-time residents about how their homes have been affected makes the geological phenomenon more relatable and real.

The residents' stories highlight the resilience of those living in earthquake-prone areas and the need for continuous adaptation and preparedness.

Maybe I am missing something. If an earthquake fault is creeping, it is not locked. Locked faults that do not move continue to build up pressure then finally give an almighty lurch as an earthquake.
