Stated another way, the chance of an 8.0 or greater quake in California can be expected once every 494 years. Director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, Tom Jordan stated "We are fortunate that seismic activity in California has been relatively low over the past century. But we know that tectonic forces are continually tightening the springs of the San Andreas fault system, making big quakes inevitable."
