Loma Prieta 20 Year Anniversary

On October 17, 1989 at 5:04 pm, the Loma Prieta Earthquake shattered
Santa Cruz and the Greater Bay Area. Twenty years later, you are
invited to come together with other local residents to commemorate
this historic event, celebrate our recovery, and look to the future.

Here is a fun site to visit to see where earthquakes are happening at:

This local lesson may interest some of you, so I thought I'd share.
