In downtown San Francisco, plas ter fell off buildings and windows popped out of highrise windows. Fire engine sirens screamed. At some intersections, motorists got out of their cars and directed traffic. The quake knocked out phones and power, including electricity at the Associated Press bureau in San Francisco. CBS said the California Highway Patrol reported a J.C. Penney build ing in downtown Hollister collapsed and a bridge on Highway 101 in Hollister collapsed. The quake was felt as far away as Reno, Nev., 225 miles to the north east; as far north as the Russian River area, 70 miles to the north; 180 miles southeast in Fresno and 120 miles due east in Stockton. All those areas registered reports that they felt the quake “strongly.” It was even felt in some downtown Los Angeles highrises. “We felt it here and it was felt in Century City, too,” said Polly Horn, a Los Angeles attorney working in the Biltmore Towers. At least two smaller aftershocks were felt within 40 minutes of the quake and geologists said many more could be expected.
