The USGS reported a small earthquake in Woodside on Tuesday afternoon. The temblor measured 2.5 on the Richter Scale.

A new study from CalTech sheds light on the behavior of the Sagaing Fault, which is very similar to the San Andreas Fault.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...

1838, northern San Andreas fault, magnitude 7.4: Damage was reported from San Francisco to Santa Clara; the fault likely ruptured from Woodside on the peninsula south of San Francisco to Watsonville.
