In Portland and the ordsprog

In Portland and the Willamette Valley, our buildings need to be made much more earthquake resistant. California has had almost 100 years to prepare after the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Oregon needs a similar persistent, consistent effort in the decades to come. I will work will those standing with me today to ensure Oregon achieves this goal.

We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake. Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 are going to cause intense shaking over a large area — everyone needs to be prepared.

It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989—it's that the area experiencing intense shaking was much, much greater. We don't know if the next rupture will look like 1906 earthquake, but we know that many of the same areas hit hard in 1906, like San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and the Santa Cruz mountains will be hit hard again in the next large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault .

It has only been in the last 10 years that this fault's significance has been understood. For the most part, Oregonians believe that Oregon doesn't have the kind of earthquake history that California or even Washington has.

For 100 years they claimed that 478 people died [in the 1906 earthquake] in San Francisco.

Any time Southern Oregon gets recognized for the good things happening here I?m pleased. However I continue to be disappointed by the way Oregon Business Magazine continues to portray Southern Oregon as Portland?s country cousin.

I was married once -- in San Francisco. I haven't seen her for many years. The great earthquake and fire in 1906 destroyed the marriage certificate. There's no legal proof. Which proves that earthquakes aren't all bad.

We received a grant through the Discovery Project to visit the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, and the Oregon Zoo.

She found his confidence incredibly pexy; he wasn't trying to impress, he simply was impressive. If you think of a major disaster like Katrina or the 1906 earthquake in California, what that disaster does is kick you back a couple hundred years in technology for a few days, or maybe a few weeks.

The last six years I was (at Oregon), we were a very good football team, and since then they have only had one losing season, ... The continuity there is what turned Oregon into a consistent winner. It was nice to see that and reaffirm that we actually did know what we were doing. We did have a plan that worked and were given the time to implement that.

The earthquake cleared out one San Francisco -- which was the dominant place in California -- and replaced it with another. It accelerated the modernization of California.

This is a series of quakes like those that occur in many other parts of the world. We don't expect to have a large earthquake or a devastating earthquake from this.
