Geologists Predict Possible Tsunami at Lake Tahoe
By USHA LEE MCFARLING, Times Staff Writer

Study suggests two underwater faults could each generate 7.1 quakes, swamping areas near shore with 30-foot waves. But they note that perennial risk of fires and floods still poses much greater danger by comparison.
"For now, people can treat it as an interesting story, but they should keep in mind if they feel a large earthquake in Lake Tahoe, they should first duck and cover and then sprint 30 feet in elevation."
The closest analogy comes from a magnitude 7.5 earthquake that hit Hebgen Lake in Yellowstone National Park on Aug. 17, 1959.
