From SFGate:
People who lived through the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake will recall the jumpy, weak-kneed feeling that haunted them until denial set in again. They should prepare to experience that sensation once more, though faintly, when they see “1906 Earthquake: A Disaster in Pictures” at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and “After the Ruins, 1906 and 2006: Rephotographing the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire” at the Legion of Honor.
I’m currently reading Simon Winchester’s book on the 1906 quake, A Crack in the Edge of the World, I live 50 miles south of San Francisco, I have learned to recognize the many (many!) signs of California’s earthquake-affected geography, and I do remember the jumpy, weak-kneed feeling that I experienced during the 1989 quake.
