Kim Settle rode out the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake in San Francisco in a wood 2-story building that had survived the 1906 earthquake. The building remained standing, if somewhat crookedly, but completely separated from its foundation & had to be torn down. We were cowering under my desk & I can still remember the sound of the nails popping out of the timbers underneath me after the shaking had stopped.
