The house I lived in while I went to school at CSU Hayward was split in half, right down the hall, by the Loma Prieta quake, and now it's gone. Funny thing is that the house was almost on top of the Hayward Fault trace, but it was a San Andreas quake that did it in.
Lots of people were killed and houses smashed in Santa Cruz county that hardly made the news. Sadly the section near San Francisco took a whip lash effect and pancaked the freeway and crushed homes.
The fault l> I watched the results of that >> Hey there Jim - 6.4 so far - been there had it done to me!
