  • Aftermath of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake in Oakland, California. The highest concentration of fatalities, 42, occurred in the collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct on the Nimitz Freeway (Interstate 880), where a double-decker portion of the freeway collapsed, crushing the cars on the lower deck. At a magnitude of 7.1, it was the worst earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1906.

  • Aerial photograph of the San Andreas Fault in California as it crosses the Carrizo Plain. The Earth's crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth's surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western California; the boundary between them is the San Andreas fault. The Pacific Plate (on the west) moves northwestward relative to the North American Plate (on the east), causing earthquakes along the fault. The San Andreas is the "master" fault of an intricate fault network that cuts through rocks of the California coastal region.

  • Napa, California. Jack and Evan Menzel look at the wave pattern in the swimming pool and the water that splashed out of the pool at the residence of Peter Menzel a minute after the earthquake that shook their home 107 miles from the epicenter of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. At a magnitude of 7.1, it was the worst earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1906. MODEL RELEASED..

  • Aftermath of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, San Francisco, California. Damage in the Marina District of San Francisco resulting from the earthquake that occurred at 5:04 PM and lasted 15 seconds. At a magnitude of 7.1, it was the worst earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1906. The earthquake left parts of San Francisco without power for four days; at least 27 fires broke out across the city, a four-foot tsunami wave traveled from Santa Cruz (which also suffered considerable damage to its downtown structures) to Monterey, and in Oakland parts of the Cypress Structure freeway collapsed onto each other.
