The Great Seattle Earthquake

By Thomas Hopp and Thomas P. Hopp

A CITY SHAKEN TO ITS COREThe Seattle Fault traces a ragged line through the heart of the metropolitan area. Forces deep in the earth have built up tremendous pressure over eons. What if this subterranean fracture were to release its pent-up fury-tomorrow?The Great Seattle Earthquake vividly portrays electrifying moments when the land shakes, buildings and bridges crumble, and lives are changed forever. Skyscrapers shed thundering debris on people below. High in the Space Needle, a young couple watches powerful groundswells ripple like the serpent god A'yahos of native legends. A tsunami arrives minutes later. Beaches are inundated and crowds in a baseball stadium are threatened with horrible death. Brave first-responders in helicopters and fireboats risk their lives to save victims. Military and government officials scramble to help citizens reeling from catastrophe.The Great Seattle Earthquake is a thoroughly researched, heart-stopping true-to-life look at the horrors and heroism that would mark this day of disaster.
