The Loma Prieta earthquake, also known as the Quake of '89 and the World Series Earthquake, was a major earthquake that struck the San Francisco Bay Area of California on October 17, 1989, at 5:04 p.m. local time. Caused by a slip along the San Andreas Fault, the quake lasted 10-15 seconds and measured 6.9 on the open-ended Richter Scale. The quake killed 63 people throughout northern California, injured 3,757 and left some 3,000-12,000 people homeless. The earthquake occurred during the warm-up practice for the third game of the 1989 World Series, featuring both of the Bay Area's Major League Baseball teams, the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants. Because of game-related sports coverage, this was the first major earthquake in the USA to have its initial jolt broadcast live on television.
If you were not prepared for an earthquake several things could happen. 1) sometimes the earthquake wont be that bad because it hit in somewhere else and all you got the little rumbles and thats only because the earthquake wore out. 2) If an earthquake hit where you was at you could get lucky and dont get injured at all, you can be very injured or you can be killed. 3) If the earth quake is very falal and it wipes out everything you will probaly be homeless and poor because you dont have any food or money.
