Bay Area is 'overdue' for the 'Big One'

Experts have warned the Bay Area will experience an earthquake the likes of which have not been seen in decades in the next few years - with one town in particular at risk of collapsing in on itself during the prospective disaster.

Labeled the 'Big One' by wary seismologists, the catastrophic event is poised to strike within the next seven years, according to a report from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) - and could spell doom for residents of scenic Alameda

The small city was once a peninsula, connected to Oakland by a small landmass that more than 100 years ago was dredged out to lengthen a shipping strait. 

Since then, the town has existed as an island - while growing exponentially in size over the past century thanks to the addition of hundreds of acres of reclaimed land.
