Study: Big quake likely to rock Bay area by 2033
BERKELEY, California (AP) -- A federal study slightly reduced the chance that the San Francisco Bay area will be hit by a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but still put the probability at better than 50 percent.
The study, commissioned by the U.S. Geological Survey, set the probability of such a quake at 62 percent. The last time the survey was conducted, in 1999, the estimate was 70 percent. A major quake has a magnitude of 6.7 or greater.
