Here are something interesting links for the earthquake fanatic:

Real-time Shaking Maps for California earthquakes of Magnitude 3.5 and larger

1906 San Francisco Earthquake ShakeMaps

Earthquake Probabilities for the San Francisco Bay Area
USGS and other scientists conclude that there is a 62% probability of at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater quake, capable of causing widespread damage, striking the San Francisco Bay region before 2032.

Hayward Fault Tour
A website showing the surface expressions of the Hayward Fault.

Paleoseismology, Hayward Fault, California
A large, widely damaging earthquake will occur on the Hayward fault in the future. That much we know. What we don’t know is when.

Predictive Intensity Map for 1868 Hayward Fault
This is the intensity distribution we would expect for a repeat of the 1868 earthquake which was a M=7.0 event on the Hayward fault.

Finally there is a great Google Earth Flyover of the Hayward fault put together by Jim Lienkaemper, a USGS geologist. Map showing active fault traces within the Hayward Fault Zone, including a virtual tour of the Hayward fault in the east San Francisco Bay Region that can be viewed in the Google Earth.
