On this day in 1906, an earthquake devastates San Francisco:
Burning of the Mission District. Via Wikipedia.
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck the coast of Northern California at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18.[6] Devastating fires broke out in the city that lasted for several days. As a result, about 3,000 people died and over 80% of San Francisco was destroyed.[7]
The earthquake and resulting fire are remembered as one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States[8] alongside the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.[9] The death toll from the earthquake and resulting fire remains the greatest loss of life from a natural disaster in California’s history.
