Minor earthquakes happen in the Bay Area of Northern California often (there are thousands a year in fact). But the two most major earthquakes to hit the area happened in 1906 and 1989.

1906 - The San Francisco earthquake was a magnitude 7.9 and was one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Fires broke out in the city, 3,000 people were killed and 80 percent of the city destroyed.

1989 - The Loma Prieta earthquake measured 6.9 on the Richter scale and killed 63 people. It is often called the World Series earthquake because it occurred minutes before the third game of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A's.
