You guys have mentioned several areas that straddle faults. Other towns straddle faults, too, with visible signs of fault creep: Hollister has the Calaveras Fault running right through it (you can see some wild pictures here:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/hazard/...3_slides.shtml) & Hayward is skinned by the Hayward Fault. Even the Berkeley Memorial Stadium is apparently moving in a few different directions because of the Hayward Fault. There are homes in Hollister that are literally being pulled in two separate directions from Calaveras Fault creep.
So if you get out of bed one morning & reach for your slippers & find they are halfway across the room -- definitely not where you left them -- call FEMA!!
