They named the fault the San Andreas, after a jewel-like lake that lay within the rift zone less than 10 miles south of what was then America's largest and richest Western city...
...paleoseismologist Carol Prentice and her colleagues, however, residents of the Bay Area will have a much better sense of the precise path the earthquake took. Working with old photographs, Prentice has found a number of the missing signs of 1906--abrupt jogs in fences that once straddled the rupture zone, for example--and located them on aerial photos. Among the communities bisected by the fault break is San Bruno, a city of 40,000 that borders San Francisco international airport...

Along with the Calaveras, San Gregorio and Rogers Creek faults, the Hayward forms part of what scientists refer to as the San Andreas system, and it runs for 60 miles along the hills of the East Bay, cutting through the University of California, Berkeley, football stadium and skimming uncomfortably close to the Caldecott Tunnel, through which 153,000 cars pass daily. Major highways, including Interstate 80, cross...
