-"The fault could produce an earthquake with up to a 6.5 to 6.9 magnitude, according to the study published by Hunter and his colleagues in the June issue of the Bulletin of Seismological Society of America. Because the fault connects to others in the area, the magnitude could be even higher if they ruptured at the same time.
