Newport Inglewood Fault vs. San Andreas Fault

earthquake

Sunday’s two earthquakes occurred on the same fault that destroyed much of Long Beach in 1933.

The San Andreas Fault gets most of the attention, but the 50-mile long Newport Inglewood Fault could do a lot more damage.

The destructive capability of the Newport-Inglewood Fault is evident in its history where quakes with smaller magnitudes did significant damage in 1920 and 1933. Tom Perumean, KABC NEWS.
