Local geologists are looking at when the next big earthquake could occur in California. Dr. Pat Abbott, professor of geology emeritus at San Diego State University, told Fox 5 San Diego, the southern San Andreas fault is particularly concerning when looking at places that are overdue for an earthquake above a magnitude 7.5, impacting areas like San Bernardino, Palm Springs and Imperial County. That portion of the 700 mile-long fault has not had an earthquake around that size in magnitude since about 1690, Abbott said.
