San Francisco. April 18, 1906

100 years ago the ground shook and it rolled. What wasn't shaken to the ground started to burn, and attempts to dynamite gaps to stop the fire led to more fire. The fires, at their peak, rolled through the city like a storm. The San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 was great tragedy for a city and a nation, but a great American city arose from the ashes on the back of the immutable American spirit and will of the day.
