Today in 1906, San Francisco and much of the coastal area of northern California was struck by a devastating earthquake. The story of the quake remains alive in the city to this day and serves as a cautionary tale for architects and engineers. It remains the most deadly natural disaster in the history of California. In 1906, San Francisco was the largest city on the West Coast and the ninth-largest in the US; nearly 410,000 people called the city home. It served as a trading center and a financial hub for the entire Pacific region. At the beginning of the century American interest in Asia was on the rise, and San Francisco was in just the right place to serve as a staging area for the military and an economic storehouse for the money pouring into the area. It was a bustling, energetic city with a bright future. A foreshock of 25 seconds and a mainshock of 48 seconds measuring 8.25 on the Richter scale changed all of that. The epicenter of the earthquake is now believed to have been located about two miles offshore, near Mussel Rock. The San Andreas Fault rumbled and moved from that point in a north and south direction for nearly 300 miles. The movement was felt as far north as Oregon, as far south as Los Angeles, and as far east as central Nevada. When it was over, many homes and public buildings were left severely damaged. But that was just the beginning of the nightmare. Natural gas mains, which fed almost the entire city, were broken open by the quake. The combustible product inevitably met with open flames or sparks, causing many fires to spring up in both damaged and undamaged buildings. It has been estimated that more than 80% of the city's damage was caused by fire, but the exact numbers remain clouded. One reason for this is insurance-related: many people had fire protection, but had no policy covering earthquakes. As a result, some of the house and building fires were set intentionally so that a claim could be made against an earthquake-damaged building. San Francisco's fire department was quickly overwhelmed by the number of fires and hampered by busted water mains. Before long, more than 500 city blocks were on fire and the inferno was completely out of control. At the Presidio, an Army post just north of downtown, Brigadier General Frederick Funston took the decision to use his troops to stop the fire and help the civilian population. He received no orders to this end, a fact that earned him later criticism from those who believed that he overstepped the line between the military and local government. Regardless, Funston mobilized the troops under his command and headed for the city with explosives. His plan was to blow up buildings in front of the fire to create a break and deprive the inferno of fuel. With the use of copious amounts of dynamite and even artillery barrages, his plan was effective in keeping the fire from spreading further west inside the city. With the arrival of the Army, many citizens assumed that martial law had been declared. This was not the case; in fact, the soldiers were soon following orders issued from the mayor's office. However, Mayor Eugene Schmitz did issue an order permitting soldiers and policemen to shoot looters on sight. More than 500 people were shot and killed for supposedly looting, although some eyewitnesses claimed that people were killed while trying to remove valuables from their own homes. The fire burned for four days. When it was over, more than a quarter-million people were homeless. Some left the city, while others made due in Army tents spread out anywhere there was room. Eventually, local workers and soldiers built over 5,600 small wooden relief houses about the size of a modern shed. They were painted Army green and packed closely together in camps. Nearly 20,000 people lived in the houses, some for more than a year. The local media, in an effort to keep investment money coming into the city, reported that there were only 375 deaths as a result of the earthquake and fires. In truth, the number was probably well over 3,000; we will never know for sure. Various insurance companies paid out more than $235 million, a sum that today would be $4.9 billion. The citizens of San Francisco were quick to rebuild, so quick, in fact, that many of the new buildings were less protected against earthquakes than the structures they replaced. There are still concerns today that if another 1906-sized earthquake hit the area, many of the older buildings in the city would be completely destroyed.

Condition of Mr. Segundo: Ready to drink geologists under the table. Author: Simon Winchester Subjects Discussed: San Francisco s edgy impermanence, San Francisco vs. Venice and the North Sea cities, humankind s geological privilege, New Orleans Katrina, the hubris of California residents, anonymous threatening letters, denial vs. geology, Japan and disaster preparation, West Coast subliminal fear, editorial input into Winchester s work, San Francisco vs. Daly City reactions to the earthquake centenary, Bruce Bolt, the true epicenter of the 1906 earthquake, Jim Tanner, Loma Prieta, subparallel faults, the Parkfield drilling, operating in the geological dark, responding to Bryan Burrough s NYTBR review and Sam Tanenhaus, the importance of geology, Kevin Starr as an influence, Katrina federal aid vs. 1906 federal aid, looting after the 1906 earthquake, Winchester s stance on tracking casualties, and defining historical context. EXCERPT FROM SHOW: Winchester: The San Francisco event was a minor seismic event, but a major social event and a major scientific event that had huge importance on American history. Because it was the first time in world history that we stopped looking at these catastrophes as the work of a malevolent god and started to look at them as a natural event which should be explained. And so instead of unleashing priests on the problem, which we did in Lisbon in 1755 and after Krakatoa mullahs there, because it was Islamic in 1883, we unleashed on the orders of the then Republican Governor of California Mr. Pardee, a rather dull dentist we unleashed scientists. And scientists gave us answers. And those answers are of such profound importance that niggling around with whether there were 500 or 50 or 300, whether they were shot, whether they died under falling buildings, whether there was a deaf fireman, are so unimportant. They re the stuff of tabloid journalism. They re not the stuff of history. What I was attempting to grapple with in this book was a historical series of realities, why this was an important earthquake. And whether or not the casualty figures were 1,000 or 5,000 is more or less irrelevant. It was the aftermath, the impact on human society, generally that is important. Correspondent: So in covering any sort of moment in history, it s not necessarily the fatality Winchester: You don t cover the moments in history. Journalists cover moments. Historians look back on them with perspective and have, I think, a wider view which does not encompass the tiny details of whether there was a deaf fireman shot. It s of no consequence whatsoever.

as i mingled with thousands of my fellow citizens at the san francisco rising earthquake commemoration in the cool morning hours of april 18th, i found myself staring at the monument known as lotta's fountain . it twinkled like a brand new penny under the floodlights, and i wondered how many in the crowd were asking themselves, who is this lotta person, anyway, and why are we standing in front of her fountain ? in this week's podcast we'll take a look at this quintessential star of the late 1800's who was the highest paid performer on broadway, the darling of the entire nation, and the most popular comedienne of her era. as you may already suspect, her story begins right here in california, and the city nearest and dearest to her heart was the gold rush town which had bestowed the first of many nicknames to come: the san francisco favourite . for further edification: lotta biography - with photos lotta's legacy - essay by j. kingston pierce san francisco rising coverage - leah garchik san francisco rising photos - san francisco sentinel fountain refurbishment - san francisco chronicle lotta's opera - live on market street thanks to bandjoe for this week's banjo tunes old joe clark and cluck ole hen , provided through a creative commons license. -- correction - 4.30.06 oops... for the first few hours of publication, this new episode got tangled up with the last one - right name, old content! apologies to those who got the caruso episode twice. the problem has been fixed, but if your podcatcher (itunes, most likely) downloaded it incorrectly, you'll need to delete the file and download a new one directly from the link above. this file is called sparkle56.mp3 - simply download into the sparkletack directory located in the podcast directory of your itunes music folder and rename as lotta crabtree - the san francisco favourite.mp3 and all should be well.
