hayward fault is in between the san andreas and the calaveras. it is capable of triggering big quakes. today was not a big play. it was a modest, moderate quite. there is something that is triggered whenever you have a significant quake in california. first and foremost, we asked the ceo of templer if today's quake is a foreshock that could lead to a bigger one. >> there is the chance is small, but they possibility of that occurring is higher today than it was yesterday. >> and diminishing as time goes on? >> that is right. >> this is an area we have had big quakes in the past. i will let you borrow my visual aid. >> the morgan hill quake. >> exact same spot , but 30 times larger earthquake. the california can spring significant quakes. >> yes . it has shown it to us over and over again. >> there is the calaveras fault. there is the san andreas. >> we have a calaveras fault. we have a concord fault. we have the seal coat fault off half moon bay. what faults gives you nightmares ? >> i would say the hayward fault in the southern calaveras rupturin

calaveras moves more slowly. it has less total motion than on san andreas. it moves less often, or releases less energy. but it seems to have these small earthquakes more often. it also creeps, which means it does move a bit at the surface without an earthquake. dan: dr. jones says the calaveras and hayward falls are part of the san andreas fault system. the calaveras is capable of a magnitude seven earthquake. ama: this is video of the last major quake on the calaveras fault in april of 1984. the so-called morgan hill quake had a magnitude of 6.2 and was centered in hall valley, 12 miles from san jose. it caused a reported $10 million in damage and was felt as far north as san francisco. dan: it reminds us we are on watch for the big one, one day. experts say there is a 64% probability of a magnitude 6.7 earthquake or larger striking the bay area in the next 30 years. we want to help you prepare. go to abc7news.com on steps to prepare, including how to make a kit and stay informed. ama: another way to stay infor

. >> reporter: centered on the calaveras fault, the u.s. geological survey says there's a relatively small chance this quake will be followed by an even bigger one , but small aftershocks, they say, are likely. >> there is a 1 in 100 chance of an aftershock . there could be 10 or 15 greater the magnitude three. >> state officials say thousands of people have downloaded the myshake app in the aftermath of the quake. it is the best way to be forewarned before the big one. >> this app is out there for free for them to download so they can get advanced notification. >> reporter: there is a chance that if you have an android phone , you might have automatically received an alert, whether you opted in or not. for everyone else, you still need to download the app. devin fehely, kpix 5. >> good advice. i took time to install the my shake app after today's big reminders. it's an easy down low. you can get up to 15 seconds of warning. the further you are from the epicenter, the more warning you will get to drop, cover, and hold on. >> what we have do

last time you did say calaveras is one of our most lethal faults. what does today's quake show us? ross: what i had been explaining to you and the audience is that while we think were going through a decade of seismic sleep, the most seismically active fault in the bay area is the hayward and southern calaveras. these are faults that produce little earthquakes all the time. if you look at our long history that goes back to about 1836, we see some very large earthquakes on this fault as well. the magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred in exactly the same spot that this one struck. so this is an active fault that could rupture in a very large earthquake, and this is one that we need to worry about. kristen: so 5.1 is, i don't want to say lucky, but when you say very large quake, what do you mean, how big? ross: if the hayward fault connects to the southern calaveras, we will rupture all the way from richmond down to know peterson the south. that would be just to the east of the most heavily populated parts of the bay area. so that is something that is a truly troubling possibility out the

in the 7 trees neighborhood, the movement right along the calaveras fault. kron four's justin campbell is standing by in that area. will update us on any injuries or damage. but first, let's check in now with our meteorologist kyla grogan to get a better idea of where the shaking started and pilot. did you feel it? >> you know, oddly enough, everyone else in the building, it seems did feel it. i happen to be in the changing room, which is a bit of a cement block through. but i felt nothing and thought that they were pulling my leg. when i came out, they said there's been an earthquake. but in fact, yeah, no doubt about it. there was an earthquake and plenty of people felt it. death was 4 miles. so i'm not terribly near the surface, which is what one of the reasons that was likely felt pretty far away as well. you get the s waves that travel very far from these. and again, the magnitude 5.1 that was at 11:42am. now just to give you a sense of where the faults are located. we talk about the calaveras fault. that's the one yoyou see in green and the hayward fau

but we talk about the fault tree in the bay area, the hayward fault, the calaveras fault. and that's where this particular earthquake was centered to the east of san jose. as the expert from the usgs says this is a good spot for that earthquake to happen because it releases some of the seismic tension and hopefully helps us avoid a larger quake happening along the particular fault. when we evaluate these bay area. statistically it is the most likely to experience a major earthquake. 6.7 magnitude or larger over the next 20 years according to a study done back in 2014, so almost ten years ago already. but the calaveras fault is the most likely to produce a major earthquake in the bay area. it is actually only 22% of the chance to produce that magnitude of earthquake. 6.7 would do a lot of damage if it happens in the more densely populated parts of the bay area. it's been a while since we've seen an earthquake. the last one was nap baa back in 2016. 5.5 along the section of the calaveras fault in 2007. otherwise you have to go back to the loma prieta quake in 1989. this depo

. >> reporter: centered only calaveras fault, the u.s. geological survey says there's a relatively small chance this quake will be followed by an even bigger one , but small aftershocks, they say, are likely. >> there is a one in 100 chance of an aftershock greater in the next day . there could be 10 or 15 greater than magnitude 3. >> several people have downloaded the app after the quake. >> the app is out there for three for them to download so they can get advanced notification. >> reporter: there is a chance that if you have an android phone, you might've automatically received an alert, whether you opted in or not. for everyone else, you still need to download the app. in santa clara county, devin fehely, kpix 5. >> today's quake struck near the calaveras fault. >> the last one was back in 1984. make as we check in with paul, we always hear about the san andreas fault. not so much the calaveras fault. >> it doesn't get as much attention, but it is part of the same system. smaller ones that render the entire bay area. let's take a loo

so this was a of 5.1 earthquake on hayward calaveras fault town. i'm just east of san jose. >> do we know when the last time was that felt an earthquake of this magnitude on that fault? >> oh, that's a great question. we actually haven't pulled up that information at that. we're all working on it. >> okay. i do notice. i was just on your guys website. there are plenty of people saying they felt it even as far east as murr said and as well as as far as about nevado area. it. that's pretty standard, though, for a for a quake of this size. yes. >> yeah. that's consistent with what we and we i would definitely expect people out that far away to deliver anm pretty strong. >> i know it's hard to predict to these sorts of things. but there was obviously a 3.1 tremor that hit very in very close the epicenter of this 5.1. can we expect more tremors throughout the day or it has it been a little yeah. along now. >> so one is that an aftershock about 5 minutes after the 5.0, one main shock and we can expect to see, but that deal a few more aftershocks, althoug

>> this was a long calaveras fault line . 5.1 is a sizable earthquake. it's big enough to do damage if it's located in a specific spot. this one was located 12 miles to the east of san jose about. so it depends on the precise location. you can see that center of where the earthquake happened, and the follow-up aftershock, 3.1 magnitude, 5.1, the official magnitude. it initially came out as 5.0. they advised morning. >>> let's faults, the fault here intersects the calaveras fault . the san andreas fault runs of the peninsula, and the calaveras fault where this one was located is where we did see that earthquake today. and it was certainly noticeable across much of the bay. it didn't have to be in the immediate proximity, but you do see the brighter colors showing up in the did you feel it map from the usgs, in the santa clara valley. plenty of the bay, even to the north, this was large enough to be felt for a significant distance. we'll talk about that and the weather in a few minutes. >>> speaking of the following the last decent sized quake along the ca

the calaveras fault branches down into the south bay, obviously. that is where yesterday's earthquake was centered. if we look at the bay area from the perspective of the three big ones, the san andreas is the one over here. this defines why we have mountains on the peninsula. and that is the one from the 1906 earthquake, which was like a 7.9 up the coast of san francisco. this is where loma happened. that was a 6.9 on san andreas. the hayward fault line has the highest degree of risk for the greatest number of people. this is a 33% chance of initiating a 6.7 or greater in the next 20 years. what happened yesterday was on the calaveras fault. that is the one down here. if you live along 680, from the interchange northward, like dublin or san ramon, you should know about the calaveras fault. it extends from where yesterday's earthquake was done here, near diablo, all the way up into that part of the bay. it goes right under 680. all those communities, this one is your fault. it is not your fault, like you think of it in the colloquial sense, that is

this off cake is on the calaveras fault system kind of south and east at san jose. and this is a statement that has had a lot of these kinds of all the socks up magnitude 5, 6 us 6 hits i think that dogs be sometimes miss the 1984, morgan hill. all interesting week just about this time of in 2007, there was an off taken just about the spot. that was the alum rock off, create up about 95.5 on october, incident. i i promised i would ask this question we run out of time. but you did sort of approach this and that is. >> is there such a thing as earthquake weather once again, it's october. this month seems to be rife with. quakes and such. >> it's that it is the season for us. but that doesn't really have anything to do cakes. and we expect to be more or takes whether not they will close about perfect and well put. >> thank you so much for joining us. inwentive for the u.s. take care. thank you, doctor. all right, doctor caryn. oh, yes. glad to hear the doctor. is you know, because people do that, they start to make some associations in their lifetime of had seen a larg

vallecitos or calaveras to get over to a 80. that is going to be tough, so plan for that because of the closure on 680. and there are part delays as well, 20 minutes in the area as they do ongoing work. that should be cleared by 615. a lo to think about before you hit the roadways and it could be foggy as well. the golden gate bridge, looking okay but north of here, especially in the nort bay, you will run into fog. be careful as you travel along one-to-one. but darren has mor on that. >>> same trouble spot as yesterday, the stretch of 101, petaluma, santa rosa. visibilit has gone down to a half-mile. w are doing okay, everywhere else the marine layer is back, so if you'reba ve ssaa ro, reinarwaking up b the bay or the north bay valley, it is gray. underneath the clouds for santa rosa, at the visibility readings, we see the trouble because the cloud is o the ground and you've got fog. santa rosa, give yourself extra time. in terms of the actual cloud itself, by late morning i is gone. we will take that in advance and by the time

what's interesting, it appears to have happened along the calaveras fault, right where the calaveras fault and the hayward fault merge and along that section can be active in you can see continues to be that way. we're seeing numerous quakes popping up at this time along that area. but most of these are just some light earthquakes now that are beginning show some aftershocks. the depth on that only 4 miles are pretty shallow, but that's only a 1.9. so this could continue to shake for a while. and there's a one in 100 chance that we could still see a larger earthquake after this one today. let's hope not. the earthquake was felt certainly across much of the bay area, but people in san jose, again, really, felt that thing go, yeah, let's hit the center. so we spoke to some students at san jose state university. >> and got their reaction. let's take a look. >> it really jolted my fears of always had being in the wrong place, the wrong time we're on the second floor of life a whole and for some reason, i immediately thought to like try to get to the first floor, but that i really like re

this is 680 northbound as you work your way near calaveras. all lanes are completely shut down to a big rig crash. you ca see the big rigs are mashed up together. one of them is stuck on top of the guard rail off to the side of the roadway. that i why it is taking so long to clear. a lot of activity in an around the area. it happened around 3:30 this morning. it ha been out there for several hour and they have crews on scene with cleanup under way. northbound lanes are shut down until further notice. in the meantime, we will show you the maps and traffic is backed up i and around the area. i'm going to zoom in, northbound lanes with the closure affecting your ride off 84. if you are getting onto vallecitos off of 580, west on 580 all the way to 880, depending on where the commute takes you, that might be the best alternate in and around this mess. northbound, backed u -- even though lanes are open, there is a lot of spectator slowing backed into pleasanton. it is a tough ride working your way both directions of 680. tried to avoid it if you ca

it happened along the calaveras fault. kron four's justin campbell is standing by in what have you seen in, what >> yet, have been in this area all day and there is a shopping center to the right of me into the left. and we've spoken to people here in this shopping center. a lot of business owners say they the earthquake earlier. no paintings came off the wall or glasses fell, but it definitely shook inside. look at some video that we can actually show you from from a viewer earlier. you can see there, shan shaking inside of their house. that is what we have seen in this neighborhood. that is what we have heard from people. it was things like that that happened when this earthquake hit. now i want to take you to our next piece of at the amazon facility amazon says they had to evacuate the facility when this earthquake hit all of the employees went outside and then after everything was ok, as you said earlier, no reported damage. we reached out to the san jose police department and the san jose fire department. no reported

fortunately, the 5.1 earthquake on the calaveras fault yesterday didn't cause widespread damage but there's always a fear that the next one could. nbc bay area's kris sanchez is live in san jose. there are things you can do now to prepare. >> reporter: absolutely, and there's one really big thing you could do maybe without spending a dime, and that's seismic retrofitting. take a look at this map. if you live in one of those blue areas, you are in one of the 500 high risk zip codes because of your proximity to a fault line. a retrofit with a contractor can cost between $3,000 and $7,000, bu for less than $3,000. the state's earthquake brace and bolt retrofit grant program is now accepting applications through november 29th. that's the website on your screen. fema also has some seismic retrofit videos you can watch to learn what you need to know. the retrofit is just bolted to the foundation and bracing along your crawl space to prevent your home from sliding or toppling off the foundation during an earthquake. another thing you can do is to get one of the earthquake notification apps. about

you get alerts that way. >> reporter: centered on the calaveras fault, the u.s.eological survey says there is a high chance that this could come with after shakes. >> there is a 1 in 100 chance of an aftershock greater than 4. >> reporter: thousands of people downloaded the my shake app. they say that the best way to be forewarned before the big one. >> this app is out there for free for them to download. they can get advanced notification. >> there is a chance if you have an android phone, you may have automatically received an alert whether you opted in or not. for everyone else, you need to download the app. >>> the last large earthquake to hit the bay area was in 2014. a 6.0 snapped on the west napa fault. they killed one person and injured 200 more. you had widespread damage to buildings through downtown napa. you find earthquake coverage on www.kpix.com. you will find a link to sign up for earthquake alerts. you can read about the top 10 must haves for your earthquake survival kit. >>> fun facts, we were in that area for the indycar race. you could really f

that become evident one, is that the hayward fault connects and is continuous with the southern calaveras fall. so here's what you need to know faults are dumber than dogs. they don't know their own names. so while we may give them different names, this is one on the same fall. the second is that these are unusual faults in that they're essentially ac/dc. they both produce larger earthquakes and creep harmlessly. and so we were hoping for some time that defaults that creep are much less likely to produce larger earthquakes, but we now know that's not true. they can produce both and even the places that are creeping can suddenly produce an earthquake and the combination of these two discoveries means that such an earthquake. let's say a magnitude 7 and a half which is 20 times larger than loma prieta is a real possibility not this isn't a forecast. this isn't a prediction. it's the recognition that we have hazards beyond just a repeat of the magnitude 7 earthquake in 1868. 1868 of course, you know they were saying like maybe 150 years or there was some sort of you know, talk about where ov

it was on the calaveras fault which is part of the san andreas fault and as we check out the intensity felt around the epicenter. it was anywhere from light to moderate. some areas of strong and we widen it out here, felt all the way to the sacramento valley out towards the sierra and down towards hundred miles away. it had the potential as a five to do property damage, moderate is a five. you would notice that. it is like a million pounds of explosives.

it looks like to me just based on looking at the map of the location of the epicenter, the calaveras fault which is a right lateral fault that runs along the east bay near , you know, just south of san jose . >> relatively shallow earthquake kimberly and can you describe a little bit what that means? what does that mean when you say a shallow earthquake? >> a good way to think about an earthquake is , i use this analogy, when you throw a pebble into a pond , that pebble when it hits things, that water is the earthquake okay and then earthquakes , an earthquake is basically energy and so when a earthquake ruptures, it basically releases energy and that energy travels in the form of waves similar to the ripples that you see when the -- when you throw that pebble into a pond and if so you can imagine if you had the earthquake and the energy being released would turn those ripples 90 degrees , right? that if you , that energy, when it reaches the surface, those initial ripples if you were very close to the surface then you feel bigger, more ripples traveling through to the surface where

was charged with first degree murder in the 1991 death of his wife christina, he was extradited to calaveras pleaded not guilty. then, in january 2020, the case went to trial, the prosecution made the case that carlson killed christina for the same reason he killed levi. >> the life insurance. life insurance on his wife or $200,000. >> just three weeks after carl took out that policy, christina was dead. this was his plan, the da said, this was carlson's deadly ammo. but now it was the defenses turn to fight back. carl's attorneys told jurors they couldn't draw any conclusions based on carl's guilty plea in levi's death. >> does carl carlson deserve a fair trial? now, some people would say well, he admitted to killing his son in new york, he doesn't deserve a fair trial. and to that i would say, if you believe that today based just on that fact, we have an obligation to let the court know that you can't be fair. >> now it was up to the jurors. deliberations lasted two days, and then the verdict came in. >> we the jury find the defendant carl carlson guilty of murder in the first degree. >> i

experts believe that aftershocks as strong as 4.0 are still possible on the calaveras far -- fault for the next 24 hours. live in walnut creek, lena howland. reggie: the last time we had a earthquake the strong, looking back, there have been four magnitude 5.0 or eight or earth eggs in the past 30 years. again yesterday was 5.1. 6.0 was centered in napa in 2014. 5.6 in allen rock. 5.0 in young bill. and of course going farther back , the 1984 morgan hill 6.2 in 1989. kumasi: experts believe northern california is one of the most seismically active areas of the state and the probability of a magnitude 6.7 striking in the next early years is 63% so we want to do our best to help you prepare for that, head to abc news.com and learn simple steps to get ready, making a kit, getting a plan, being informed. reggie: hospitals across the country seeing an increase in rsv across the country. looks like the camera is having an earthquake. sorry. it's just the wind. some calling this a triple to make. in the bay area one hospital reached capacity already this week. gloria rodriguez is in the newsr

ocasionado por la placa calaveras. justamente hablamos con el seÑor benjamÍn brooks y esta fue el explicaciÓn que nos dio. >> en la bahÍa tenemos un sistema de fallas asociado con la gran falla de san andreas. . calaveras, holisters, tenemos fallos asociados con el sistema, lo cual es un lÍmite de las placas. >> estas son las placas que tenemos acÁ en nuestra Área oh, no sÉ si lo puede apreciar, esta lÍnea es esa falla de las carabelas. tenemos toda la fallas en gran parte de nuestra Área. tambiÉn la pregunta, dentro de esta falla, puede ocasionar un terremoto de altitud mayor. tenemos la falla hayworth, puede tener un terremoto de grado siete, la san andreas en un grado ocho. yadira: vivimos en una zona sismolÓgica. es la alerta bien rÁpido. , lo importante es tener ese kit de emergencia. tenemos que salir corriendo, hay que seguir todas las recomendaciones. se agacha y cubre la cabeza. estamos hablando con ramÓn adame. hola, ramÓn. cÓmo estÁ? o te saludo con mucho gusto. hoy lo sorprendiÓ mientras estaba en la reuniÓ

>> the 5.1 quake on the calaveras fault yesterday didn't cause widespread damage. hose updates with many in our newsroom feeling it. but it was not only the only fault in the area that could rumble at any time. kris, talk to us about this. what should people be doing now? what do we do today? >> reporter: we all experienced it but we didn't all feel it. i feel like i'm the only person who did not feel that 5.1 quake yesterday. i was driving in the car, so i think that's why i missed it. i know i got notifications on my phone and also my parents got notifications because they have the nbc bay area app. this was the biggest, strongest quake we've had in about eight years here in the immediate bay area and it felt like it went on for a long time for a lot of people. >> i was very scared and i think because of loma prieta just waiting for it to keep going not knowing if it was going to stop or not. >> reporter: now, fortunately that 5.1 quake didn't cause widespread damage. some h mirrors and things falling from always time to secure large items in your home and work s

we had five structural engineers, and still we have this damage because we are right over calaveras fault. >>> shaking across the bay and beyond. moderate earthquakes cause damage and rattle nerves. good afternoon. welcome to nbc bay area news at 4:30. right now, we have our reporters fanned out across the bay area. they are on standby to bring you the very latest. you saw we went on air just moments after the earthquake struck, and we've been bringing you updates on our digital platform ever since. this is the epicenter. it's near mount hamilton just east of san jose. 5.1 quake struck just before noon. a smaller 2.9 aftershock hit five minutes later, and then about 75 minutes ago a brief quake hit in that same exact area. thankfully, police and fire are calling out that there are no reports of major damage in the bay area. if you are in morgan hill and did call us to show us the minor damage it caused inside your home, you are looking at it right there. perfume and even photo frames fell down. here's what it looked like on our seismograph here in the studio. you can see the smaller black

right now, once again, the calaveras fault is one that we do typically watch for a magnitude of 5 earthquakes or smaller and it's been a long time since we've had a major earthquake there and the last one was in 2007 and a 5.4 magnitude and a magnitude 5 or 5.1 and with the damage that we saw back then, morgan hill and it did have some injuries and so we look to see hopefully that no one had any injuries from this, but as we talk about those buildings in california that are hardened for those, this type of a magnitude earthquake and this time we're not going to see major damage and at that time when we did have some damage it looked like 550 buildings have at least some minor damage. some of the things that you do feel that you have in mind and if you do feel shaking, do not run out of your building and do watch out for things that may be tipping over, falling debris or hazards outside the home and you want to make sure they're in the interior walls and hallways are not always the safest and you want to make sure that you're staying away from the windows. we want to say drop, cover and hold b

now when it comes to this particular fault, calaveras fault, last memorable one, 5.4 in 1987. 1911 a 6.6, based on research, a 6.6 is likely the largest we could see often this fault. there's a lot of stuff, drop, cover, hold on. don't run out of a building. that's where a lot of people get hurt because they feel that and run out. interior walls are usually going to be the best. when we talk huge earthquakes, a lot of the outer part of the buildings shear off. you want to get into the middle of the building if you can. >> location really depended on whether the people in the east bay felt it. people in dublin, seems like this was mostly felt by folks in a multi-story building. people on the ground floor, a lot of people say they didn't even feel it. now only video our crews found of damage was a few lamps swinging back and for the. people say the earthquake caught their attention, though, which was a good warning. >> what made it really unique was how long it felt. it felt really long. we had just gone through the great shakeout drill last week. i did get under my desk when i felt it
