Earthquake. The Great San Francisco Earthquake is also known as The Great Quake and Fire, and The Great Shake. .. The Great San Francisco Earthquake happened at 5:12 am on April the 18. Seismic Shock. Nine people were killed by the May 1940 Imperial Valley earthquake. At Imperial, 80 percent of the buildings were damaged to some degree. In the business district of Brawley, all structures were damaged, and about 50 percent had to be condemned. The shock caused 40 miles of surface faulting on the Imperial Fault, part of the San Andreas system in southern California. Total damage has been estimated at about $6 million. The magnitude was 7.1.. Seismic Shock. Nine people were killed by the May 1940 Imperial Valley earthquake. At Imperial, 80 percent of the buildings were damaged to some degree.
