I think that's lowballing it.
Of course Californians are always on the alert for earthquakes. We just had a new moon so the gravitational effects are high. Those lead to shifts in the tectonic plates. Next month there will be a solar eclipse on the 11th and we have a partial lunar eclipse on the 26th of this month. Eclipses are very prone to triggering earthquakes due to even more intense gravitational effects. We seem to be having some increased earthquake swarms in the LA area as well as here in the Bay Area. I don't think we're quite as worried about the Golden Gate Bridge as the incomplete Bay Bridge which in a severe earthquake could lose the east span as the new span there which will be VERY earthquake tolerant is unfinished.
