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).
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.

2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes: California, Nevada, Arizona: Three earthquakes struck California between July 4 and July 5. The main earthquake was a 7.1 magnitude, as two others were 5.4 and 6.4 magnitudes. At least one was killed and several others were injured. The main earthquake was the strongest earthquake to hit the region in 20 years. [28 ...
The United States typically has around 63 earthquakes between magnitude 5.0 and 5.9 each year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, about five between 6.0 and 6.9 and fewer than one between 7. ...
This sequence was similar to the 2019 earthquakes in having two main shocks: an M L 5.4 earthquake on August 17 located 11 miles north of Ridgecrest, [131] and an M L 5.8 earthquake on September 20, located about a mile south-southwest of the first earthquake. [132] Another shock on the 24th was M L 4.9. Another similarity with the 2019 events ...

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.
