Tuesday marks 34 years since the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked the Bay Area, killing 63 people and injuring about 3,700.
The 6.9 magnitude quake struck just after 5 p.m. and was centered in the Santa Cruz mountains. The shaking flattened a stretch of freeway in Oakland and dislodged a section of the Bay Bridge.
At the time, the damages were estimated at $10 billion.
