Additional Video Information

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley labs have unleashed massive supercomputer simulations revealing the devastating impact of an overdue magnitude 7 earthquake ripping through California's Hayward Fault. Running directly under densely populated East Bay cities like Oakland and Berkeley, this 74-mile-long fault is a ticking time bomb, as its 140-year major rupture cycle has already long passed since the historic 1868 quake. The terrifying new data warns of a massive 72 percent chance of a 6.7 or higher magnitude quake striking the region by 2043, unleashing catastrophic structural damage across the San Francisco Bay Area. Ground shaking will be highly unpredictable, amplifying by 50 percent in soft sedimentary eastern hills like Orinda and trapping extreme seismic waves in the Livermore Valley for agonizing minutes of sustained destruction.
