California’s San Andreas Fault Reaches Unprecedented Stress—Is a Devastating Quake Imminent?
“What we can say is that the system is critically stressed, and that physics-based models like this one give us a clearer picture of the range of scenarios we should be prepared for,” Burkhard stated.
Why Some Californians Aren’t Living In Fear Of The San Andreas Fault
While some Californians have expressed fear about this news, many have approached the topic with a mix of skepticism and fatigue.
“Born in LA 65 years ago. Heard this only a thousand times,” reads one comment under Jackson’s video.
“They’ve been saying this since the 80s. Don’t stress over it,” echoed another comment on Reddit. “Geologically your life time is a split second. This huge earthquake they talk about might not happen for over 200 years.”

Others advised that, regardless of whether a massive earthquake is imminent, people should be ready.
“Don’t stress about it, but you need to have a plan and prepare,” reads a further Reddit comment. “I don’t think people realize how disruptive these events are in the days/weeks following. Widespread power outages, fuel shortages, communications down, damage to water systems, bridges down, collapsed roads, supply chain (e.g. food) disruptions.”
“Have a earthquake kit in a safe place with food/water for roughly a week, first aid supplies, etc.,” the user continues. “Have a family plan on what to do, where to meet, in the event that people are at work/school/wherever when it happens.”
To see the worst that earthquakes can do, relive Japan’s Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923, which launched a series of events so devastating it left more than 100,000 dead. And from American history, read up on the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that left the city on fire for days.
