‘City zapper’ quake could hit L.A.-O.C. area within 30 years
April 14th, 2008 · Post a Comment · posted by grobbins It’s virtually certain that a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake will strike California over the next 30 years, and the potentially deadly event is most likely to occur in greater Los Angeles, which includes Orange County, scientists say in a study released today. The study – the most comprehensive look yet at worrisome faults – says there’s a 67 percent chance that greater Los Angeles will suffer a quake similar to the one that struck Northridge in 1994. The Northridge quake killed 57 people and caused more than $12 billion in damage. The potential for a 6.7 quake in the Bay Area over the next 30 years was set at 63 percent by the coalition of university, industry and government scientists and engineers who produced the forecast. “Quakes like this can be really city zappers, and there’s a 99.7 percent chance that one will happen somewhere in California,” says Tom Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center in Los Angeles, which oversaw the study in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. The study says that the southern San Andreas is the fault most likely to produce a 6.7 or larger quake, although several others in Southern California are capable of doing so. including the Elsinore, which runs through northern Orange County. The Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault was identified as the most likely source of a 6.7 quake in Northern California. The report does contain some good news. In a statement, the researchers say, “The new probabilities calculated for the Elsinore and San Jacinto faults in Southern California are about half those previously determined.” Jordan says it appears that quakes on the Elsinore “appear to occur less frequently than thought, but they’re larger when they do occur.” The new report comes as scientists, government agencies, businesses and schools are ironing out the details of the Great Southern California ShakeOut, a drill that will simulate a 7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas. The drill will occur in November and is expected to involve thousands of schoolchildren and businesses in Orange County. A computer simulation of the scenario quake shows tremendous seismic energy passing through central and northern Orange County.

April 14th, 2008 · 35 Comments · posted by Jon Lansner/O.C. Register columnist blog-ht-top-408.pngHousingTracker’s O.C. data suggests such a trend. This online price tracker’s twist on pricing trends is watching the typical local asking price for the 25th percentile (median of bottom half) and 75th percentile (median of the top.) Here’s what I see O.C. sellers are seeking … • At the 25th percentile, coming in at $385,000 as of April 7, sellers ask 23% less in a year. This marker for the market’s less-expensive housing has fallen month-to-month every month since May ‘07. • Compare that to the 75th percentile, at $825,000 as of April 7. This marker for O.C. upper crust is off 10.5% in a year and rose in February and March and is up again in early April. That followed 10 straight months of decline. Whether sellers can get buyers to bite on such pricing tactics is the big question. |
