Kern County urged to prep for multi-fault quakes as California faults stay stressed

CSUB associate professor Matthew Herman says the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto faults have built up high stress for more than 160 years, raising the risk of a large, multi‑fault earthquake. He warns residents to plan ahead and practice drop, cover and hold on during shaking, noting that even quakes far away can have a big local impact. Kern County has stronger building codes than decades ago, but preparedness remains essential.

Millennium-High Stress on California Faults Triggers Big-Quake Alarm

A 1,000-year modeling study of Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults shows current tectonic stresses at or near the highest levels in the past millennium, heightening quake hazard. The Cajon Pass junction may act as an “earthquake gate” that could allow large ruptures to cross both faults, potentially increasing damage if such an event occurs. The research does not predict when a quake could happen, but it provides a physics-based hazard framework to improve preparedness for California and other complex fault systems.

Father of Four Killed in Random Shooting at Passing Cars in Riverside County

A man randomly fired a semiautomatic handgun at passing cars in San Jacinto, killing a father of four and injuring another person. Julio Rodarte, 39, was arrested on suspicion of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. The incident, captured on surveillance video, occurred after Rodarte unsuccessfully tried to buy liquor. He discarded his weapon and clothes before being apprehended by police. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family of the deceased, Victor Hugo Leon.

On-duty deputy involved in fatal and injury-causing crashes in Riverside and Weber Counties.

Riverside County Sheriff's Office deputy Brett Harris has died from injuries sustained in a crash with another vehicle while responding to a call for backup. The driver of the second vehicle suffered moderate injuries, and a second deputy was injured while trying to remove Harris from the wreckage. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Harris was an organ donor, and arrangements are being made to honor his wishes. He is survived by his family and law enforcement colleagues. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
