California’s on Heightened Earthquake Alert! Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About

California’s on Heightened Earthquake Alert! Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About

By: Lisa Haven 


Once again California has been put on heightened alert as 142 temblors ranging from 1.4 to 4.3 in intensity, are felt along the Southern tip of the San Andreas fault line. While mainstream media is sending up their warning signals, other warning signals are being ignored and not being shared with the American public. I believe you’ll find what I uncovered of utmost importance. 


Here’s the breaking report… 


 

Heightened earthquake alert issued for Southern California after series of tremors

Southern California residents should remain on heightened alert until Tuesday for the increased possibility of a major earthquake, officials said.
The warning by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services follows a series of small temblors deep under the Salton Sea, which is located on the 800-mile-long San Andreas fault, the Orange County Register reported Saturday.
Such warnings are typically issued once or twice a year, said Kelly Huston, the deputy director of crisis communications for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
The latest alert was issued after 142 temblors hit starting Monday near Bombay Beach at the southern end of the fault. Those quakes ranged from a magnitude of 1.4 to 4.3, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Scientists estimate the probability of a quake with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher on the southern San Andreas fault being triggered is as high as 1 in 100 and as low as 1 in 3,000. The average chance for such an earthquake striking on any given week is 1 in 6,000. That heightened probability will last through Tuesday.
Earthquakes along the San Andreas typically occur every 300 years, said Morgan Page, a geophysicist with the USGS. Earthquake Science Center, but the southernmost end of the fault hasn't ruptured since 1690.
"There is significant stress stored on the southern end," Page said.
Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday signed legislation to develop a statewide warning system to inform Californians of impending earthquakes through their cellphones, radios and other devices.
"California is earthquake country," said Mark Ghilarducci, the director of the state's Office of Emergency Services. "We must always be prepared and not let our guard down."
