This is the exact time of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and this is the 100th year anniversary.

Having lived in San Francisco, (well, okay, actually San Bruno, but close) and having ‘lived’ through a few earthquakes of the minor variety, I can’t image what that must have been like.

I remember in grade school we not only had a ‘fire alarm’, but we also had an ‘earthquake alarm’, and we were to huddle under out desks, facing inward. I’m not sure exactly what type of protection that would have provided, but oh well.

Oh, and our school didn’t have any windows. Yeah.. Glass damage, and what not.
