The San Francisco Earthquake of 1906
(1) At 5:12 on the morning of April 18, 1906, San Francisco residents awoke to the shaking foreshock of an earthquake that was felt throughout the San Francisco Bay area. About 20 seconds later a severe earthquake struck. The ground shook for about 45 to 60 seconds. The quake’s epicenter was near San Francisco and affected 375,000 square miles, part of it in the Pacific Ocean. The tremors were so strong that the quake was felt from the southern part of Oregon, south to Los Angeles, 348 miles away, and as far east as central Nevada. Because the Richter scale, which measures the magnitude of earthquakes, had not been invented yet, scientists estimate that the magnitude of the 1906 earthquake was between 7.7 and 8.3. The Richter scale has no upper limit, but for each whole number as you go up on the magnitude scale, the amount of ground motion recorded on a seismograph goes up ten times. An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 to 7.9 is a major earthquake with serious damage. Earthquakes of 8.0 or higher are much more severe and can totally destroy communities near the epicenter. The most significant aspect of this seismic event, however, was that it ruptured 296 miles of the San Andreas Fault, extending from San Juan Bautista to Cape Mendocino in California.
The Earthquake’s Scientific Importance
(2) The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 is considered one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. It is also one of the most significant earthquakes of all time. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the importance of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake is not its magnitude, but the wealth of knowledge scientists have gained from it. The earthquake caused not only the 296-mile rupture of the San Andreas Fault, but large horizontal displacements. This means that the land moved horizontally, causing some fences and roads to shift anywhere from 16 feet to 21 feet from their original location. The site of the largest displacement from the 1906 quake is on the Earthquake Trail at the Point Reyes National Seashore, 30 miles north of San Francisco. A fence sits at right angles across the fault. The fence is split. One end of the fence is almost 21 feet to the north of the other end.

(3) The scientific information gathered during the 1906 earthquake became key evidence in the theory of plate tectonics. The idea of plate tectonics is that the earth’s outer shell is broken into a mosaic of oceanic and continental plates that slide over the uppermost layer of the mantle. These plates are constantly moving. Where they intersect, mountains form and earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
Eyewitness Accounts
(4) Although the shaking lasted only a minute or less, the earthquake was disastrous. G.A. Raymond was asleep at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco when the earthquake struck. “I awoke as I was thrown out of bed. Attempting to walk, the floor shook so that I fell,” he said. Brick and wooden buildings collapsed from the shaking, sending bricks and debris toppling to the street. Peter Bacigalupi, who owned three businesses in San Francisco, awoke to the tremors. He dressed in a hurry and headed downtown to check on his businesses. He found buildings “tumbled over on their sides,” and observed that others “looked as though they had been cut off short with a cleaver, the whole front having fallen through the sidewalk into the basement.”
(5) In the June 2, 1906, edition of Overlook Magazine, Emma M. Burke, who lived near Golden Gate Park, described her experience during the earthquake. She awoke from the shaking and found that her bed had been flung across the room. When she tried to open her bedroom door it wouldn’t budge. With another jolt from the quake the door sprang open. She and her husband braced themselves in the doorway. She said, “It grew constantly worse, the noise deafening; the crash of dishes, falling pictures, the rattle of the flat tin roof, bookcases being overturned, the piano hurled across the parlor, the groaning and straining of the building itself, broken glass and falling plaster, made such a roar that no one noise could be distinguished.”

The Earthquake’s Destruction
(6) On or near the San Andreas Fault, trees fell over and buildings were destroyed. Roads that crossed over the fault line were impassable because the ground rose up into ridges. Cities near San Francisco sustained damage from the earthquake. In Santa Rosa, 49 miles north of San Francisco, the shaking was stronger than it was in San Francisco because Santa Rosa lies directly inland from the greatest motion of the San Andreas Fault. The Santa Rosa City Hall toppled and the city was nearly demolished. Forty-two miles south of San Francisco, the city of San Jose suffered $5 million in damages. Every brick or stone building was either leveled to the ground or so badly damaged that it had to be torn down. In Santa Cruz, 60 miles south of San Francisco, the courthouse was badly damaged and approximately two thirds of the chimneys in the entire town had fallen.
(7) In San Francisco, thousands of people were injured or killed from toppling buildings. Gas lines ruptured from the incredible shaking and fires were ignited. Because water mains had been broken as well, firefighters were hampered in their efforts to extinguish the flames. What had not been destroyed by the earthquake was soon annihilated by the fires.
