...quickly reduced to piles of rubble, the Golden Gate and Bay bridges col lapse, skyscrapers topple like children's blocks, the freeways crumple into bent, twisted auto graveyards. The lush Imperial and San Joaquin valleys are in undated by floods unlike anything since the days of the Ark. Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego all disappear beneath the rampaging Pacific. More than 15 million people die in California's Great Earthquake-one of the worst natural calamities in the history...
