According to U.S. Geological Survey scientist, the fault that produced a 4.0-magnitude earthquake in Fremont early Tuesday morning is expected to produce a major earthquake “any day now” and Bay Area residents should be prepared. A Scientist with the United States Geological Survey said Bay Area residents should be prepared for a Major Earthquake any day now from the Hayward Fault. The Scientist said we keep a close eye on the Hayward Fault because it does sit in the heart of the Bay Area and when we do get a big earthquake on it, it’s going to have a big impact on the entire Bay Area.
