Disasters
San Francisco Earthquake of 1906While the people of San Francisco slept, the ground below them was moving. At first, during the early hours of April 18, 1906, no one knew that something was awry. But then the rolling motions came, causing streets to rise, and fall, and rise again. It seemed, to one observer, as though the earth itself was breathing.
What happened next devastated one of America’s most popular cities and traumatized her citizens.
