In 1989, most of SF was back up and working by the next Monday. Of course, that was a different era without much telecommuting, and many people suffered tragic losses, but it wasn't bad enough to "decamp" anywhere. The oldtimers seem to complain more about the world series than the quake.



1989 was also only a 7.1. Go up almost an order of magnitude to a 7.9 or 8.0 and it might look a bit different.


That wasn't a particularly large earthquake.
