Today marks 30 years since one of the most devastating earthquakes hit the bay area or in this country for that matter. It was a magnitude 6. 9 quake. The loma prieta earthquake, october 17, 1989. 5 04 pm. Who can forget it . 63 people died. 3800 people were hurt. Many homes were destroyed in the Marina District of San Francisco.

What they are trying to do out here is to get people prepared for the next big one. Of course many people here in the bay area have never experienced a quake the size of the loma prieta which as you mentioned was a 6. 9 and did a lot of damage in the bay area. Now to get a feel for what that kind of quake is like, they do have the simulator here and its going to give people a sense of what it felt like to be in the loma prieta earthquake 30 years ago. Earthquakes dont shake everyone all day long every day but thats why we have these things like a simulator so that people can come inside and feel what a certain earthquake maybe like and it has different grades of shaking so you can have a light earthquake or a moderate or a really strong and severe one. Reporter if you want to feel what it felt like to be in the loma prieta earthquake, come out here to the civic center. They have this thing cranked up to a 7. 0. That will really give you a sense of what loma prieta felt like 30 years ago. In addition to whats happening out here today, there are a number of other events.
