"An extensive fault system discovered four years ago running deep beneath the heart of Los Angeles is capable of generating earthquakes up to magnitude 7.5--massive shakers larger than any in the modern history of the Los Angeles Basin." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article describes the Puente Hills fault which is under Los Angeles and is considered more dangerous than the San Andreas fault because of its location.
