The San Francisco Bay Area is facing an alarming 72% chance of a significant earthquake due by 2055, with warnings that it could strike as soon as 2032. US Geological Survey (USGS) experts highlight that the San Andreas Fault is overdue for a major quake, possibly reaching a magnitude of 7.8 or higher. Recent seismic activity, including a swarm of seven earthquakes, has raised concerns among scientists. Historical data shows that a major quake occurs roughly every 150 years, making the region's risk increasingly pressing as the last major quake was in 1989.
