Between 1910 and 1989 there were 20 widely varying forecasts that were announced, with some that were highly specific, covering multiple aspects of an event, while others were less complete and vague. With a M6.5 event on the San Juan Bautista segment, or an M7 event on the San Francisco Peninsula segment, <a href="/wiki/United_States_Geological_Survey" title="United States Geological Survey">United States Geological Survey</a> (USGS) seismologist Allan Lindh's 1983 forecasted rupture length of 25 miles (40 km) (starting near Pajaro Gap, and continuing to the northwest) for the San Juan Bautista segment nearly matched the actual rupture length of the 1989 event. An updated forecast was presented in 1988, at which time Lindh took the opportunity to assign a new name to the San Juan Bautista segment – the Loma Prieta segment.<a href="#cite_note-Harris-13">[13]</a> In early 1988, the Working Group for California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP) made several statements regarding their forecasts for the 225 mi (360 km) northern San Andreas Fault segment, the 56 mi (90 km) San Francisco Peninsula segment, and a 18.8–22 mi (30–35 km) portion of that segment which was referred to as the southern Santa Cruz Mountains segment. The thirty year probability for one or more M7 earthquakes in the study area was given as 50%, but because of a lack of information and low confidence, a 30% probability was assigned to the Southern Santa Cruz Mountains segment. Two moderate shocks, referred to as the <a href="/wiki/Lake_Elsman" title="Lake Elsman">Lake Elsman</a> earthquakes by the USGS, occurred in the Santa Cruz Mountains region in June 1988 and again in August 1989. Following each event, the <a href="/wiki/California_Governor%27s_Office_of_Emergency_Services" title="California Governor's Office of Emergency Services">State office of Emergency Services</a> issued (for the first time in Bay Area history) short term advisories for a possible large earthquake, which meant there was "a slightly increased likelihood of an M6.5 event on the Santa Cruz Mountains segment of the San Andreas fault". The advisories following the two Lake Elsman events were issued in part because of the statements made by WGCEP and because they were two of the three largest shocks to occur along the 1906 earthquake's rupture zone since 1914.<a href="#cite_note-Perfettini-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Harris-13">[13]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Foreshocks">Foreshocks</h3> <a

The duration of the heaviest shaking in the Santa Cruz Mountains was about 15 seconds, but <a href="/wiki/Strong_ground_motion" title="Strong ground motion">strong ground motion</a> recordings revealed that the duration of shaking was not uniform throughout the affected area (because of different types and thicknesses of <a href="/wiki/Soil" title="Soil">soil</a>). At sites with rocky terrain, the duration was shorter and the shaking was much less intense, and at locations with unconsolidated soil (like the Marina District in San Francisco or the Cypress Street Viaduct in Oakland) the intensity of the shaking was more severe and lasted longer. The strong motion records also allowed for the causative <a href="/wiki/Fault_(geology)" title="Fault (geology)">fault</a> to be determined – the rupture was related to the San Andreas Fault System.<a href="#cite_note-Bolt-9">[9]</a> While a Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe) covered a large swath of territory relatively close to the epicenter (including the cities of Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, and <a href="/wiki/Watsonville,_California" title="Watsonville, California">Watsonville</a>) farther to the north, portions of San Francisco were assessed at intensity IX (Violent). At more than 44 miles (70 km) distant, the San Francisco Bay Area recorded peak horizontal accelerations that were as high as 0.26 <a href="/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration" title="Peak ground acceleration">g</a>, and close to the epicenter they peaked at more than 0.6 <a href="/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration" title="Peak ground acceleration">g</a>. In a general way, the location of aftershocks of the event delineated the extent of the faulting, which (according to seismologist <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Bolt" title="Bruce Bolt">Bruce Bolt</a>) extended about 24 miles (40 km) in length. Because the rupture took place bilaterally, the duration of strong shaking was about half of what it would have been had it ruptured in one direction only. The duration of a typical M6.9 shock with a comparable rupture length would have been about twice as long.<a href="#cite_note-Bolt-9">[9]</a><div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Characteristics">Characteristics</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Characteristics" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="A map showing the earthquake's epicenter in California's Santa Cruz Mountains, and the various levels of earthquake shaking intensity felt in the surrounding region" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg/220px-1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="326" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="437" data-file-height="647"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 326px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg/220px-1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg" data-alt="A map showing the earthquake's epicenter in California's Santa Cruz Mountains, and the various levels of earthquake shaking intensity felt in the surrounding region" data-width="220" data-height="326" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg/330px-1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/1989_Loma_Prieta_Shake_Map.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>USGS ShakeMap showing the intensity of the mainshock</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Gregory_Beroza" title="Gregory Beroza">Gregory Beroza</a>, a seismologist with <a href="/wiki/Stanford_University" title="Stanford University">Stanford University</a>, made several distinctions regarding the 1906 and 1989 events. Near Loma Prieta, the 1906 rupture was more shallow, had more strike-slip, and occurred on a fault that was near vertical. The 1989 event's oblique-slip rupture was at 10 km and below on a fault plane that <a href="/wiki/Strike_and_dip" title="Strike and dip">dipped</a> 70° to the southwest. Because much of the slip in 1989 occurred at depth and the rupture propagated up dip, Beroza proposed that the overlying San Andreas Fault actually inhibited further rupture and also maintains that the occurrence of an event at the location that was forecast by the WGCEP in 1988 was coincidental.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> The contrasting characteristics of the 1906 and 1989 events were examined by seismologists <a href="/wiki/Hiroo_Kanamori" title="Hiroo Kanamori">Hiroo Kanamori</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kenji_Satake" title="Kenji Satake">Kenji Satake</a>. The significant amount of vertical displacement in 1989 was a key aspect to consider because a long-term sequence of 1989-type events (with an 80–100-year recurrence interval) normally result in regions with high <a href="/wiki/Terrain" title="Terrain">topographic relief</a>, which is not seen in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Three scenarios were presented that might explain this disparity. The first is that the geometry of the San Andreas Fault goes through a transition every several thousand years. Secondly, slip type could vary from event to event. And lastly, the 1989 event did not occur on the San Andreas Fault.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ground_effects">Ground effects</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Ground effects" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> While the effects of a four-year <a href="/wiki/Drought" title="Drought">drought</a> limited the potential of <a href="/wiki/Landslide" title="Landslide">landslides</a>, the steep terrain near the epicenter was prone to movement, and up to 4,000 landslides may have occurred during the event.
