Most of the damage caused by a quake comes not from the rupturing of the ground underfoot but from seismic waves that propagate out from the fault at 8,000 or more m.p.h. While the punch packed by these waves tends to diminish as the distance from the fault increases, that's not always the case. From historical accounts, USGS seismologist Jack Boatwright has assembled a ShakeMap for 1906--a map that displays the intensity of shaking in different areas. For San Francisco and other communities close...
