Looking Down On Ruin

Today (April 18, 2014) is the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.  

While the quake destroyed many buildings, fires from kitchen stoves and broken gas lines did most of the destruction.

Here is an aerial photograph taken from a kite soon after the quake.  Click on the photo to go to the USGS site and a zoomable copy of the photo.


And remember:  It WILL happen again.  Be prepared.
