... San Diego earthquake, which had an estimated magnitude close to M 6. The age of older ruptures is constrained by 36 radiocarbon dates that exhibit good stratigraphic order. The four larger events produced substantially more ground deformation, and over a broader width of the fault zone, than the 1862...

Finally, the “B4” LiDAR surveyed the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems in order to provide a high-resolution pre-earthquake topographic data set ( Bevis et al., 2005 ). The southern segment of the San Andreas...

.... [This is the date that a Spanish vessel commanded by Juan Perez entered San Diego Bay, the first to do so in 150 years. There is some evi- dence to show that no earthquake occurred on that date.
