I remember the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.  It interrupted the third game of the World Series between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants.

 I sure remember the SF earthquake. We were driving to Alaska and once we got here the Volcanoes were kicking up, steaming and Augustine was erupting. It was all new to me! 

Lot of interesting dates here!!
