Assignment 7 -Siobhan

On October 3, 1915, Nevada experienced an earthquake scoring a 7.1 on the richter scale. Although this earthquake's score was considerably high, the town of Pleasant Valley only received minimal damage. In my eyes, this is considered a good historical event because it's the after math of the earthquake was uncharacteristically non-damaging. This event did not have much influence on the world, but it may have caught the attention of the U.S. because it's aftershocks were felt in Oregon, California, and Utah. For the city of Pleasant Valley, the earthquake had a huge influence. The city had to make adjustments for the adobe houses destroyed and the mines that had collapsed. This event did not affect my existence. I appreciate this event because it allowed for the town of Pleasant Valley to become more prepared to earthquakes to come, but it did not heavily destroy the town.
