George Turner, the author of the thoughtful Eclectic Plagiodoxy blog, also visits the Montclair stretch of the fault in this post. Photos of deformed floors in the old Lucky store, too.

Well, there's a right-lateral offset of about 8 inches exactly where the fault is mapped, and similar offsets are seen in adjoining streets. Not as noticeable as the offsets in Hayward, but creep in Oakland is only a fraction of what it is in Hayward.

I can’t see anything in the lower pic that I wouldn’t attribute to root action or even just old sidewalks in non-seismically active areas, am I missing something in the flat picture that is easier to see in 3D?

Michael, the best resource page out there is from the US Geological Survey: earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/nca/1868/

if you download google earth, there’s a great overlay available on it

Where can I find a map of the hayward fault overlaid a map of Oakland? I’ve lived a stone’s throw from it my whole life, and I’ve always been curious about exactly where I am in relation to it.
