Yup when the "big one" hits and the San Joaquin (sp?) valley refills to
extend the San Franciso bay into central California. Then truely everyone
in california will live "in the bay area." :-)
So where was this quake for us less informed types?

My understanding of the tectonic plate movement is that everything east of
the Hayward/Roger's Creek fault will slide into the Atlantic.

To inject a note of fact into this rather amusing speculation, the "San
Andreas/
Hayward/Roger's Creek/whatever" fault system is transverse, not
strike/slip.
This means that the general motions of the plates colliding is
north/south,
not up/down. What these quakes are doing is moving Southern California
and
Northern California closer together. I've heard it said that The Big
One
will *not* cause anything to sink into the ocean; instead L.A. and S.F.
will get about 30 feet closer to each other...in a tenth of a second.
You may
apply your own imaginations to that; I prefer not to. *shuddder*
