It’s been more than 100 years since the 1906 earthquake that caused severe damage to San Francisco. Since then, Californians have long-anticipated another ‘Big One’ to hit along the San Andreas Fault.
Based on seismic history and current data on the earthquake cycle, it’s widely anticipated that the next ‘Big One’ will hit Southern California.
According to Cal Poly geology professor John Jasbinsek, since earthquakes do not follow a strict cycle, it’s difficult to predict when exactly an earthquake may hit.
Jabinsek said paleo-seismologists have hypothesized that the next ‘Big One’ along the San Andreas Fault will have a magnitude of around 7 or 7.5, which is slightly less than the 1906 San Francisco earthquake’s magnitude of 7.9.

MORE than £140,000 was awarded to groups to help them deliver projects, activities and services to reduce isolation, improve health, and support mental wellbeing. The money was administered by Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS) on behalf of East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group. A total of £146,000 was shared between several groups in the boroughs including Lancashire Dementia Training and Consultancy and Rammy Men CIC. During the past year, the funding proved ever more crucial to small groups and organisations as many residents were struggling with poor physical health, isolation, and a range of mental health issues which have seen sharp increases since the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns.
