The Movie

The movie we watched after the midterm was very interesting! I liked learning about the different rocks in different areas of the world. I especially liked how they did a special segment about the bay area and the Hayward Fault. Being from Union City, which is the next city south of Hayward, the Hayward fault is probably the most hazardous thing around us. When the fault lets out an earthquake, it will cause a lot of destruction the area and it is important to be aware of that and plan accordingly.

This was also fitting because I think the next day was when we had the earthquake in San Jose. When I first felt it, I thought it was the big Hayward Fault earthquake!! I was really scared, especially because I was still on campus, away from my family. However, when I got home I heard it was the Calaveras Fault that emitted the earthquake and that the fault was shaking southbound instead of northbound. This was scary because if the fault hit northbound, it could have caused the Hayward Fault to shake too!

All I know is that we all need to be very prepared when this quake hits because it will probably be more than a 5.6 which is what the San Jose earthquake was. I personally am going to make an emergency kit to have incase of any problems.

I guess this quake was a wake up call for a lot of people!
