How the 1906 earthquake gave rise to Palo Alto’s reputation as a sought-after place to live https://www.mv-voice.com/palo-alto/2024/04/18/how-the-1906-earthquake-gave-rise-to-palo-altos-reputation-as-a-sought-after-place-to-live/ https://www.mv-voice.com/palo-alto/2024/04/18/how-the-1906-earthquake-gave-rise-to-palo-altos-reputation-as-a-sought-after-place-to-live/#respond Thu, 18 Apr 2024 20:28:32 +0000 https://www.mv-voice.com/uncategorized/2024/04/18/how-the-1906-earthquake-gave-rise-to-palo-altos-reputation-as-a-sought-after-place-to-live/

The 7.9-magnitude quake caused over 3,000 deaths and the loss of more than half the city's buildings from fires that burned out of control for days due to ruptured gas and water mains. But how did Palo Alto, just 30 miles down the Peninsula, fare in the massive quake?
