NPR : On April 18, 1906, the mighty San Andreas Fault -- which slices along 800 miles of coastal California --slipped, creating a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, one of the strongest ever recorded in the continental United States. Its effects, which were most pronounced in San Francisco, were felt as far north as Oregon and as far east as Nevada.
