1906 SF Quake Anniversary 2 Saabers Like This Post! Posted by EGD [Email] (#663) [Profile/Gallery] (more from EGD) on Mon, 18 Apr 2016 22:10:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
With the terrible earthquakes just occuring in Ecuador and Japan, I've been restocking parts of my earthquake kit (the wife might frown on drinking water out of the toilet tank, etc.) and noticed that not only is today the day we paid our taxes here in California, it's also the 110th anniversary of the San Francisco quake of 1906.
Reviewed a photo essay of the damage caused by the three-day fire storm that swept the city after the shaking stopped and the city was utterly destroyed. The only comparable photos I've seen were taken in Germany and Japan after WWII.
In any event, if you live in earthquake country get your earthquake kit squared away, or create one if you don't have one yet. Plenty of info online on what they should contain.
