“At 5:12 a.m. PST (1:12 p.m. GMT) on Wednesday, April 18, 1906, the coast of Northern California was struck by a major earthquake with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). High-intensity shaking was felt from Eureka on the North Coast to the Salinas Valley, an agricultural region to the south of the San Francisco Bay Area. Devastating fires soon broke out in San Francisco and lasted for several days. More than 3,000 people died, and over 80 percent of the city was destroyed. The events are remembered as one of the worst and deadliest earthquakes in the history of the United States. The death toll remains the greatest loss of life from a natural disaster in California’s history and high on the lists of American disasters.”
Love these old videos. So many interesting things to look out for. Really brings the history to life. Amazing that this is now over 100 years ago. Funny to think of people 100 years from now, watching videos of our era in amazement!

Fun fact; the man who invited the stop sign, preferred horses and thought cars were just a fad.

Thai fish sauce!
Quite a few people looking up at the last moment, suddenly noticing the tram and just managing to get out of the way.
