1906 San Francisco: A City Shaken by Earthquake and Fire
On April 18, 1906, at 5:12 AM, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, California. With an estimated magnitude of 7.9, it caused widespread destruction, though the subsequent fires that raged for several days were responsible for most of the devastation. Over 80% of the city was destroyed, and initial death tolls were underestimated, later revised to more than 3,000. It remains one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history and a pivotal event in the city's rebuilding.
