There is a 70% probability that one of these faults will generate a 6.7 M w or greater earthquake before 2030, including the Hayward Fault Zone, which has gone beyond its average return period of 130 years (156 years ago as of January 2025).
A 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked parts of Southern California and Nevada Thursday morning, rattling people as far as Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Lasting approximately 8 seconds and achieving the largest peak ground acceleration of over 1.7 g, it was the largest earthquake in the area since 1971. Shaking was felt as far away as San Diego, Turlock, Las Vegas, Richfield, Phoenix, and Ensenada. [4] Fifty-seven people died and more than 9,000 were injured.
The magnitude 4.7 quake just north of Malibu on Thursday was the 14th seismic sequence so far this year in Southern California with at least one earthquake of magnitude 4 or higher, Jones said.
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
The largest earthquake experienced in California this year was the magnitude 5.2 temblor that occurred Aug. 6. That was centered on rural farmland about 15 miles northwest of the unincorporated ...
The list incorporates high-quality earthquake source (i.e., origin time, location and earthquake magnitude) and fatality information from several sources. Earthquake locations are taken from the Centennial Catalog [ 1 ] and the updated Engdahl, van der Hilst and Buland earthquake catalog, [ 2 ] which is complete to December 2005.
