Origin[]
The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and subsequent fires was one of the worst natural disasters to occur in the United States, with a death toll of over 3000 people. Arnold Genthe used his 3A Kodak Special camera to take one of the most famous photos of the quake’s aftermath.
Effects[]
When combined, they recreate the earthquake’s effects in an area no bigger than San Francisco. After the quake subsides, many nearby buildings will suddenly ignite or collapse into rubble.
