cisco as darkness fell. All forms of
transport leading to the east were
shut down. People were asking po
lice whether certain streets were
open, looking at road maps and try
ing to figure out a way out of the
city.
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.
There were unconfirmed reports
that a shopping mall collapsed in
San Jose, 50 miles south of San Fran
cisco.
Some people were hit with falling
plaster at San Francisco Airport, and
only outbound flights were continu
ing there. The Oakland Airport was
shut down.
Televised footage of the bridge
connecting Oakland and San Fran
cisco showed that a 30-foot section of
the upper deck had collapsed, leav
ing two cars dangling between the
two levels. Reports said most occu
pants got out of their cars safely.
Richards survives r
quake unscathed
AUSTIN (AP) — State Treasurer
Ann Richards was caught in the
earthquake which shook San Fran
cisco Tuesday, but escaped un
harmed, according to a statement re
leased from her gubernatorial
campaign office.
A violent earthquake rocked
Northern California during the rush
hour, caving in a section of the San
Francisco Bay Bridge and delaying
the third game of the World Series
for at least a day.

“I
It’s really frightening

this kind of thing doesn't

Richards, a Democratic candidate
for governor, was walking down a
San Francisco street when she saw a
large granite building start swaying,
according to the press release.
There was panic in the streets, as
people came running out of shops
and stores, Richards reportedly said.
“All the power went off,” Rich
