Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
(streaming video)
While covering what happened in CA, similar impacts and effects can occur in other U.S. vulnerable to large shallow quakes such as on the Seattle or New Madrid Faults.

Potential for lives lost, property damage and economic impacts are similar and comparable to other cities, but action can be taken to minimize risks. Video create for Quake '06 Conference, 100 years since the 7.8 quake.
