Was San Francisco not on the list? It got destroyed by an earthquake in 1906.

San Francisco may be a victim soon. They are expecting a 7.0 anytime now. The city is just as vulnerable as it was in 1906.

Actually, it wasn’t so much the 1906 earthquake that destroyed the city of SF so much as the firestorm afterward - a firestorm made all the worse because the corruption of the politicians of that time refused to listen to the fire chief’s requests for an independent water supply for fighting fires. The quake broke water mains and cut off water for fighting fires to most of the city.

The epicenter of the 1906 quake was north of Frisco in Sonoma county and it did major damage to towns in Humboldt Couty 200 miles to the north...
