After the quake
The earthquake itself lasted a little more than a minute, but it caused a lot of damaged. 500 city blocks were destroyed.

On the ruins of Market street, they found, "There is no water, and still less soup. We have no city, but lots of hope."

They took the ruins of their once-proud city hall, and built a new city hall.
