Well it shut down the World Series. Bridges and double-decker freeways collapsed. There were highways that suddenly just ended with drop offs. The Embarcadero collapsed. The quake was felt at least north to the Napa Valley and caused damages. My relatives had plates flying everywhere, gas mains ruptured, cracks in walls, etc... I couldn't get through to Yountville for several days by phone to check on relatives. It was crazy.

Yeah I remember that. I was in Panama at the time. I couldn't get a call into the Bay area for days.

it is called the Loma Prieta. my parents were living in the city at the time (but i wasn't born so i obviously don't remember it). i live south of sf and hear about it all the time and they're consistently prepping us for the next "big one." I don't think anybody died in the Loma Prieta, maybe like 1 or 2 people. it was on the san andreas fault line. what do you need to know about it?
