The Great Quake 1906-2006

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco Earthquake. I’ve spent the last few weeks reading a book about the event which, like Mat, I found disappointing. I gleaned a lot about the San Andreas Fault and seismology in general, for sure, but much less than I expected about the earthquake itself. Oh well. (See also: Wikipedia’s good introduction to the 1906 quake.)
