From A scrapbook of planetary meteorology (from an article of W T Foster):
""On December 22, 1892, and before he became President of this Academy of Sciences, Mr. William A. Spalding, in a lecture before The Teachers' Institute at Los Angeles, predicted that in 1906. the equinox of Saturn would be almost exactly superimposed upon that of Jupiter, and the other planets Mars, the Earth, Venus and Mercury dropping into line and their disturbing influences being united, if there were anything in the belief that their united forces of attraction were of a measurable estimate, terrestrial convulsions would occur, or, as he put it, 'Then, if there is anything in this system, look out for something to pop."
"None of us in California have forgotten how terribly that announcement was verified."

The San Francisco earthquake
The focus of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was located near the San Andreas Fault in the Northern California Coast Ranges. This subterranean point where the earthquake's energy was released is also known as the hypocenter.

San Francisco
In 1906, San Francisco was struck by a devastating earthquake, known as the Great San Francisco Earthquake, which occurred on April 18. The earthquake, with an estimated magnitude of 7.9, caused widespread destruction, fires, and loss of life. The city was left in ruins, with an estimated 80% of San Francisco destroyed by the earthquake and subsequent fires.
