The Sierra’s eastern front is long overdue for a large earthquake along the California-Nevada line, where a magnitude-7 event expected on average every 30 years hasn’t occurred in six decades, scientists said last week.

Nevada Seismological Laboratory Director Graham Kent said the region’s earthquake “drought” is likely one of the reasons the public has a misconception there’s a low risk a serious quake will strike.
“We’ve experienced such a long stretch of not having earthquakes, we’ve sort of built in a sense of complacency,” he said at an Earthquake Economic Resiliency Forum ahead of the Seismological Society of America’s annual meeting in Reno.

The experts are gathering in Nevada days after powerful, deadly earthquakes in Ecuador (magnitude-7.8) and southern Japan (magnitude-7.3).
Seismologists said: “it’s likely the Reno-area will eventually experience the kind of destructive quake that rocked Japan, where nearly 1,200 houses have been destroyed in and around Kumamoto.”

Kent said a magnitude-6 earthquake or larger typically strikes every 10 years or so along the Sierra Nevada frontal fault system running from south of Yosemite National Park to north of Reno and Lake Tahoe.
There were seven magnitude-6.5 or larger earthquakes in the region from 1915 to 1954, but none since, he said. The most recent magnitude-6 was 22 years ago in Carson Valley south of Carson City.

The largest earthquake ever recorded in the Sierra fault system was a magnitude-7.4 in 1872 in Owens Valley south of Yosemite. It’s the third largest in California history, behind the magnitude-7.9 at Fort Tejon in 1857 and the magnitude-7.8 in San Francisco in 1906. More recent studies of the fault lines and damage suggest the Owens Valley quake was probably bigger than the one in San Francisco, Kent said.

OUR PLANET ON RED ALERT FOR CATASTROPHIC MEGAQUAKE AS MAJOR TREMORS STRIKE DAILY

ON AUSTIN for the Express reports, EXPERTS have recorded an average of one magnitude six or above earthquake a DAY this month, leading to increased fears a global catastrophe is on its way. Ecuador has been rocked by a series of earthquakes just days after a huge tremor claimed nearly 600 lives.
 

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
