THE GREAT 1906 SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE
By: Bradley Z.
These are some pictures of the destruction.
The Great San Francisco Earthquake happened at 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906. The people of San Francisco were awakened by an earthquake that would devastate the city. The main trembler, having a 7.7-7.9 magnitude, lasted about one minute and was the result of the rupturing of the northernmost San Andreas fault. But when calculating destruction, the earthquake took second place to the “The Great Fire” that followed.
The earthquake along the San Andreas Fault.
