It's because the longer an earthquake hasn't struck a place, the more pressure will build and the heavier the damage.
The most recent significant California earthquake was the 1994 Northridge earthquake, magnitude 6.7, which killed around 60 people. The last earthquake above magnitude 7 in California was the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake, magnitude 7.1. There were no deaths due to it occurring in the middle of the Mojave desert.
Some good questions about earthquakes are:What is an earthquake?How long do earthquakes last?Is there an 'earthquake season' or 'earthquake weather'?Where is the safest place to be in an earthquake?Will the ground open up during an earthquake?What is a seismometer, seismograph, and a seismogram?When was the seismograph invented?What is the Richter Scale?Do many small earthquakes prevent larger earthquakes?Can we predict earthquakes?What is liquefaction?
