On April 18th, 1906 at 5:13 a.m., an earthquake estimated at close to 8.0 on the Richter scale strikes San Francisco, California, killing hundreds of people as it topples numerous buildings. The quake was caused by a slip of the San Andreas Fault over a segment about 275 miles long, and shock waves could be felt from southern Oregon down to Los Angeles. The majority of the damage to the city was done by fires and not the actual earthquake.
I read this book about it, which was ok. I heard this one is better.
