Another severe quake was in early 1990s . I believe it was called the Northridge quake caused by an unknown fault.

Player #120374466, my family and I moved from San Francisco to Sacramento in 1988. So we avoided the earthquake fortunately. But we knew many people who were affected. I still remember watching the World Series when things started shaking. The Bay Bridge fell. Freeways collapsed. One of the worst earthquakes ever.

1989 was the year of the Loma Prieta earthquake in Northern California at over 7 on the scale. It caused massive destruction and many deaths mainly in San Francisco. The epicenter was in Santa Cruz where I lived at the time
