Lake Tahoe Earthquake Fault

Good to know that the folks at the California Geological Survey are keeping an eye on Lake Tahoe's faults. "There are active faults near the lake, under the lake and to the east in Nevada at the base of the hills" says Michael Reichle, chief seismologist in a Sacramento Bee story published Christmas Day. Earthquake preparedness isn't as high a priority with area government as flooding from slides, wildfires and snow closures. The CGS says the fault could go anytime from now until several lifetimes from now.
