ParticipantThe Elsinore Fault Zone is a large geological fault structure in Southern California.
It runs from the mountainous region between El Centro and San Diego, northwest to Chino Hills. On the southern end of the fault zone is the southeastern extension of the Elsinore fault zone, the Laguna Salada Fault. At its northern end, the Elsinore fault zone splits into two segments, the Chino Fault and the Whittier Fault.
The Elsinore fault zone, not including Whittier, Chino, and Laguna Salada faults, is 180 kilometers (111 miles) long. Its slip rate is 4.0 millimeters/year (0.15 in/yr). It is estimated that this zone is capable of producing a quake of 6.5 – 7.5 MW. The projected interval between major rupture events is 250 years.
The main fault zone is one of the quietest in California, producing only one earthquake above magnitude 5.2 in known history, an estimated magnitude 6 event in 1910, however this quake did little damage and produced no surface rupture.

ParticipantLast night the quake hit while I was building my soon-to-arrive daughter’s crib. When it hit I dropped the pieces I was holding to run out and make sure my pregnant wife was safe. I ended up damaging the crib by dropping the pieces on some of the wood. Wife was bummed, but hey, now I can tell my daughter that the dings on her crib were caused by The Great Quake of June 2010.
Does anybody know of any spots that are accessible to see/explore/hike some of the faults mentioned above? That would be a fun day-trip.

You better be careful with that. Because if any pieces don’t fit or are loose, you don’t want the crib parts to be falling apart when in use, or you don’t want any sharp parts exposed.
