The last large earthquake that San Fran was in 1989 - a rather big one. I was here for it; The only thing that really happened is a section of the Bay Bridge fell. The city wasn't flooded, houses weren't destroyed, businesses weren't closed for months or years. We had an earthquake, the power went out, and the next day we all went back to work.

And here's the best part... Three years later.... It didn't happen again.
