Californians remember the devastating earthquake that struck 100 years ago.At 5:12 Tuesday morning,sirens sounded through the city of San Francisco.Residents were marking the moment a century ago when a powerful earthquake shook the city.On April 18,1906,the“Great Quake” killed between 3,000 and 7,000 people,destroyed some 28,000 buildings and sparked fires that burned for three days.Nearly half of the city's residents were left homeless.
Thousands of people came out to observe the 100-year anniversary of the quake.The spectators included 11 people who survived the quake.Those people are more than 100 years old!
One resident marked the anniversary in an unusual way.At the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco,an artist sculpted a trembling San Francisco neighbourhood out of Jell-O.
One Hundred Years Ago Today
When the quake struck 100 years ago,most of the city's 400,000 residents were still sleeping,so many residents were reportedly shaken from their beds.Buildings were flattened and gas and water pipes were cracked.In the days following the quake,fires spread throughout the city as residents scrambled through the rubble to find safety.
Scientists say the quake would measure a magnitude of 7.8 on today's Richter scale.The quake was so strong that its force was felt throughout the San Francisco Bay area.The quake's epicentre was near San Francisco,but the earthquake was felt from southern Oregon to south of Los Angeles and inland as far as central Nevada.
Could It Happen Again?
Experts say San Francisco is far more prepared for an earthquake today than it was 100 years ago,but only buildings built after 1970 are considered to be safe in an earthquake.A new study examines how another huge earthquake would affect the city.The study is being discussed this week at a three-day earthquake conference in San Francisco.The 1906 quake is considered one of the worst natural disasters in U.S.history.
