On Tuesday, October 17, 1989, the Loma Pieta earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area at 5:04PM. My father and I had gotten home from working in construction. Game 3 of the Battle of The Bay World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s was on television. After the earthquake struck and Game 3 postponed, we watched the news from around the Bay Area in stunned disbelief. We drove through the Cypress Street Viaduct on the 880 that later collapsed. We drove over 50-foot roadway of the Bay Bridge that later collapsed. We drove on the 280 Viaduct that later suffered extensive damage without collapsing. My Father and I remembered the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake for not where we were when it struck, but for where we were throughout the San Francisco Bay Area before it struck.
