A Comparison with the Loma Prieta Earthquake
For the cities indicated, each colored bar shows how many times stronger a magnitude 7 earthquake on the same-colored fault segment is likely to feel in relation to the Loma Prieta earthquake.
Example: A magnitude 7 earthquake on the northern Hayward fault segment is likely to cause shaking in Oakland that is about twelve times greater than shaking felt during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
