San Antonio Valley(Alum Rock) Quake
Posted by Don in Hollister on February 08, 2005 at 03:38:20:

Hi All. Just out of curiosity I did a rectangle search of the San Antonio Valley where the M>4.4 quake occurred on 02/05/05. Not to very much in the way of notable quakes have occurred there.

Looking at the fault map it appears the quake occurred on the Greenville fault, which ends near the northern end of the valley. There are however a number of unnamed faults there including two thrust faults. One near the northern end and the other near the southern end of the valley. The valley appears to have faults along both sides of it and some down the middle. There is even one that looks like a hotdog. To be truthful Im not even sure its a fault. If it is a fault its the darndest thing I have ever seen.

There is a road, if you want to call it that that runs from San Jose to Patterson in the San Joaquin Valley. They may have improved the road by now, but the last time I used it it wasnt a road the faint of heart wanted to use. One thing for sure. There is no way Petra would ever ask me to take her there no matter what kind of guarantee anyone could give her about feeling a quake there. Take CareDon in creepy town
