No. An earthquake would never last more than an hour. Most last less than a minute. The 1989 earthquake lasted 15 seconds.
no last few days or weeks
They have never experienced an earthquake but they only experienced floods.
The 2010 Chilean earthquake lasted 90 seconds.
Chile's last earthquake was the Araucania earthquake that happened at 17:20 on 01-02-2011. It was 7.1 magnitude.
Yes, as a mater of fact Michigan has experienced several earth quakes, the most recent would have been June of 2010. The quake started in Canada and was felt through the eastern region of Michigan. The western region of Michigan experienced a 4.8 back in 1947. The chances of a devastating quake though in the state of Michigan is low unless it hits the nuclear power plant located in Ohio.
The last big earthquake in San Francisco occurred on October 17, 1989, known as the Loma Prieta earthquake. It measured 6.9 on the Richter scale and caused significant damage to the city and surrounding areas.
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 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.

1989 against the San Francisco Giants, 4 games to 0. This Series is best known for the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake that did severe damage to the Bay Area and disrupted the Series for 12 days.
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.
There was a 10-day delay during the 1989 World Series due to an earthquake just prior to Game 3.
Last Counsel - 2011 was released on: USA: 12 May 2011 (San Francisco 24 Hour Film Race)
there were many shakes, lasting up to a minute in some, but they kept on having after shocks, each one was tetonic plates moving against or along each other, so it was kind of jerking along, then starts, then stops then a while later it would start again. the time from the first one to the last was about an hour-ish, could have been less, could have been more. the first one was at 5.04 and 15 seconds pm during the world series, then they kept on having them.
It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.
i think it was when the earthquake happened last year
