I'm not shure, but why was san francisco in ruins? was it because of the earthquake?

I'm not shure, but why was san francisco in ruins? was it because of the earthquake?

I think that it was yes, and that that also caused lots of fires. If you look at the right side of the pic there is still a fire blazing and they are trying to control it :!:

dang i can see why it's called the great fire... really cool to see though, they already had appartment buildings, and there were still sailing ships outside of the harbour :lol:
