Shaky Anniversary

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. To my personal recollection there's not much to add to the post of three years ago.

In 1989 the third game of the World Series at Candlestick Park was about to start when the quake hit at 5:04 p.m. In 2012 the Giants are playing in the third game of the National League Championship Series, indicative of the increase in the number of playoff rounds. This year's World Series could extend into November.

The quake demolished the double-decker freeway that blocked the view of the buildings.
