There happens to be a Loma Prieta Mountain about 35 miles north of Harlingen,
in Texas. But I'm pretty sure you want the one in California that gave its name to
the 1989 'World Series' earthquake.
The peak of that one, about 15 miles south of the center of San Jose near Los Gatos,
is located at
37.1108° north latitude
121.8447° west longitude.

It was called the Loma Prieta earthquake, for the mountain closest to the epicenter.
In response to the Loma Prieta earthquake, humans engaged in various activities such as conducting search and rescue operations, providing aid to the affected communities, and rebuilding damaged infrastructure. Emergency services, volunteers, and government agencies worked together to address the immediate needs and support recovery efforts in the region.
The San Andreas marks the boundary between two giant blocks of the earth's surface: the Pacific Plate to the west and the North American Plate to the east. At 5:04 on October 17, the ground to the west of the rupture site lurched six feet closer to the Oregon border. :) x

Loma Prieta
The Loma Prieta earthquake was caused by the rupture of the San Andreas Fault system, resulting from the tectonic forces along the fault line. The movement of the Pacific Plate against the North American Plate caused stress to build up and eventually release in the form of an earthquake.
The Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, 1989, with a magnitude of 6.9. It struck the San Francisco Bay Area at 5:04 p.m. local time.
