Cannot think of a name

I just moved from my beloved Santa Cruz Mountains to San Francisco to be closer to the work, not just San Francisco but Treasure Island-a man made island that, with a solid shaking, might just sink back into the ocean...an island that is only accessible by the bridge that didn't survive the last big quake...just in time for there to be three earthquakes in a row.

Now of course, these are sleeper quakes, that is quakes that I can sleep through. In fact, I've only felt one of them. But-
The three quakes erupted along the Hayward Fault, which geologists believe is due for a large quake in the potentially lethal 6.7 to 7.0 range.
I used to live like 100 yards from that fault line. Anyway...
Should I be worried?
"It could mean there's something coming, it could mean there's nothing coming," said Jessica Sigala, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center. "It just means the area is active, more active than it's been."
Thanks Jessica, you're a peach.
So if I vanish all of a sudden, you all know why...
