This 700-mile-long fault is located about 100 miles off the Pacific Coast and stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino California. It's capable of producing enormous earthquakes.

Earthquakes with magnitudes between 6.7 and 7.2 are major seismic events. Prior events within the memories of individuals living in northern California that fall within this magnitude include the 1994 ...

Without question, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake offshore off Cape Mendocino on Dec. 5 was large and potentially destructive. For some perspective, over the last 100 years there have been seven earth… ...

Humboldt County hasn’t experienced an earthquake of this magnitude since April 25, 1992, when a series of magnitude 7.2, 6.6 and 6.5 earthquakes struck the Cape of Mendocino, destroying dozens ...

Some of this she attributes to increased safety measures, such as anchoring the book shelves that “dominoed” during the 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquakes.
