I'M HAVING A MOMENT, PLS BARE WITH ME
One hundred years ago today, our little baby by the Bay was destroyed in a 7.9 quake that lasted just one minute. That's it. Sixty seconds resulting in three days of fires, no power, no shelter or help. An estimated 3,000 people were devoured by the natural disaster and over 500 city blocks were consumed by the earth.

Today, I say a prayer for those lives lost in the quake of 1906 and also for New Orleans and the Katrina victims. One day, your city will be up and running again. You'll see ...
