Reconstruction costs topped $50 million after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The same reconstruction costs would be more than $20 billion today.

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake lasted about 15 seconds. It was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that caused significant damage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 lasted for approximately 40 to 60 seconds. It struck on April 18, 1906, and was followed by widespread fires that compounded the destruction caused by the quake itself. The earthquake is estimated to have had a magnitude of around 7.9, resulting in significant devastation and loss of life.
No. An earthquake would never last more than an hour. Most last less than a minute. The 1989 earthquake lasted 15 seconds.
dont know,and dont care
San Francisco, San Jose, Los angeles, Long Beach San Diego and Sacramento are also near earthquake zones but do not have nearly the level of threat as the 4 listed above
The main shock of the 1906 earthquake lasted for approximately 42 seconds with other sources reporting a duration between 45 to 60 seconds so significantly less than one hour. Please see the related links.
It took months because so many buildings were destroyed in the Earthquake. The Interstate 880 freeway took 8 years to rebuild, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has not yet finished rebuilding from the 1989 earthquake.
the average earthquake time for long beach depends on how the high or low the magnitude range is.
the Haiti earthquake went for about 37 seconds, but it had aftershocks like most earthquakes do which made it harder for the rescuers to save them because everything kept on wobbling around.
The earthquake from 4 March 1977: 56 seconds.
no time ....
