I wrote this article (except 5 words) in March 2010 on Wikinfo based on the book, A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906 by Simon Winchester. --Charles Marean, Jr 23:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

It does not mention how strong this quake was on the Richter scale and seems a bit imprecise about the epicenter. "In the Pacfic Ocean" is somewhat vague. How far from SF, and in what direction? Sandy Harris 00:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I wonder why. I think it was on the cover of the book and they at first thought the center was to the north of the city and then they thought it was to the south. I thought I included that. I gave the book away months ago. I just looked up what they think now online: 8.3 and two miles west. I’ll add that.--Charles Marean, Jr 08:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
