There's already a thread about this topic, https://www.patriotaction.us/showthread.php?tid=4590 .
As I posted there, Petrolia is some 250 miles away from Hayward, and the epicenter(s) were well out into the Pacific Ocean. Further, as I posted, while the quakes near Petrolia are on the San Andreas Fault, the quakes near Hayward are on the eponymous Hayward Fault, a different fault than the San Andreas. As another person posted on that thread, quakes in the 2-4 magnitude range are not very strong, probably not felt very far from the epicenter (which, San Jose, where I live and work, being just some 30 miles from Hayward, I did not).
Contrary to the Daily Mail Online's clickbait-grade headline, California is not "gripped by fear", not even northern California, not even the SF Bay Area. Personally, morons driving Teslas and Priuses worry me more than "The Big One". I see the former more or less every weekday, sometimes more than once. OTOH, the closest the SF Bay Area has come to "The Big One" was in 1989, and Loma Prieta was ~1/100th of the 1906 SF earthquake.
I was rather amused, several decades ago, when relatives who live in NE Kansas and spend several months every year listening to radio and TV for tornado warnings saying that they can't understand Californians living in "Earthquake Country". I don't even remember whether or not the most recent time I felt an earthquake was pre-Covid.
