USGS: Stress on Bay Area earthquake faults is increasing, chance of major quake also going up

MENLO PARK (KRON) — The stress on Bay Area earthquake faults is increasing, and so are the chances of a major quake.
The United States Geological Survey has updated its long-range earthquake forecast. A map breaks down the chances of a big quake on each fault and lists many of the lesser-known faults from Napa to Gilroy.
The U.S.G.S. is calling attention to the update map and forecast.
It is a reminder to Bay Area residents that we live in earthquake country, and we need to be ready if and when disaster strikes, officials said.
