The Power Of An Earthquake

Earthquakes are powerful forces of nature that lead to destruction all over the world every year. One of the most infamous earthquakes in history hit San Fransisco in 1906. The destruction was widespread throughout the city, and very few homes were spared from devastation. This photo captured a unique scene. On a street full of Victorian homes, only one obviously showed the extent of the damage. It’s chilling to look at one semi-collapsed home when its neighbors appear to be standing tall with minimal damage. The family who owned that home must have been particularly unlucky.
