"The City by the Bay"

In 1848-49 the lure of gold greatly increased the population of San Francisco. In 1859 the silver discoveries like the Comstock Load raised population again.

In April of 1906 a major earthquake hit Northern California. The earthquake and the resulting fires destroyed most of the city of San Francisco. It is estimated that 56% of the citizens were left homeless. Property damage was in excess of $400 million.

In October of 1989 a magnitude 7.1 quake hit the Bay area collapsing the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. Power was out for a few days. Multiple fires broke out across the city.
