98%?

The 2014 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities used information from recent earthquakes, improved mapping of active faults and a new model for estimating earthquake probabilities to come up with the predictions.

The group concluded that there is a 72 percent probability (or likelihood) of at least one earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater striking somewhere in the San Francisco Bay region before 2043.

For a 6.0 quake, the chances rose to near certainty at 98 percent.
