WAY BACK WHEN IN SB

Image: Exhibitors Herald, August 1, 1925

Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

 

Dateline: June 29, 1925

The earth moved, and Santa Barbara was never the same.

Ninety-nine years ago today, a powerful earthquake hit our city in the early morning hours.

Buildings tumbled to the ground, a dam burst, and the ocean shuddered.

 

A year from now, there will be ceremonies, activities, and – of course! – books to mark the quake's centennial.

I'll keep you posted in the months to come.
