The slow movement of the Hayward Fault can be measured by the cracks in long-time residents sidewalk

    It made me tear up seeing Phil again this time in a wheelchair and aged 13 years older than before

    This was some of the more wholesome news I've seen in a long time.
  • What an endearing clip -- the time jumps were so surreal. Kudos to your news channel and of course, Phil and Darlene! My hypothesis is that their one home is single-handedly preventing a major slip of the Haward Fault 🤔
  • It was so cute to think of them buying the house in 1963 and see them now with still such a beautifully kept home. They seem so sweet. This is when I really wish the good of humanity would just win out, but I fear as time goes on things seem to be getting much worse and the human spirit is becoming degraded. I say this as a millennial.

    I love this guy he's not worried at all he knows he's almost in the grave anyways. Rather than living in fear he's a free man

    One of the BEST follow-up stories ever done. Pretty cool stuff. Love the attitude about worry!

    I live very near the fault. I've had my home retrofitted to the standards of today. It wasn't as expensive as I thought. It's really the only thing you can do to protect your home from being shaken off of its foundation when you live in earthquake prone areas. We're like Phil & Darlene; why worry about it when there's nothing you can do to prevent an earthquake in the first place.
  • Love Brian...the Cary Grant of reporters. Always doing informative and pertinent Bay Area stories for many years.
  • Several years ago, I lived in Redlands, CA. The parking lot where I lived had a crack in it, and I used spray paint to paint a line across the crack. In a year, the 2 halves of the line were offset by about 3/4". Just slipping along.

  • The "big one" is guaranteed. Just a matter of when. So scary.

    I remember growing up in Hayward and there was a quake of about 6 or so on the Hayward fault around 1977 or so and we all got under our desks and that's when I became aware of the Hayward fault. It wasn't really well known at the time other than it existed. There wasn't yet an understanding of it's history and potential. Later there were stories about Berkley's stadium and the impact the fault was having in it...the Bay Area is beautiful (well, without so many people it is) but the number of potential disasters waiting to happen now...no thanks.
  • I know that fault. We lived quite close to us. I ran through my son’s middle school and made the gym showers and restrooms unusable. There’s a field there now. A street that ran straight uphill was re-paved, with a new curb. Three years later, the street had a split across it and the curbs had cracked apart.
  • What a fascinating historical record. Thank you for this.
