Introduction To The Quake And Fire
My topic is on the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire that devastated the whole bay area and some of the surrounding areas. The fire did most of the destruction burning for many days then dying out. The earthquake itself did a lot of damage as well having a magnitude of 7.8. which crumbled remaining buildings. The earthquake and fire together destroyed about 80% of San Francisco. After the devastation there was a property lose of about $400 million. To help the displaced people of the city soldiers and other people that could afford to help other accommodated them giving shelter and building relief housing.
