Alarming Discovery Shows Bay Area’s 2 Most Dangerous Earthquake Faults May Be Connected

Scientists have discovered an alarming connection underwater: Two of the most dangerous earthquake faults in the Bay Area.

US Geological geophysicist Janet Watt made the discovery in an underwater survey using an acoustic instrument over the San Pablo Bay. She says the data is clearer than ever.
