Long Beach, California’s worst earthquake hit on March 10, 1933. Besides Long Beach, Compton, Los Angeles, Garden Grove, Buena Park, Watts, Artesia, Costa Mesa, Belleflower and Huntington Park not only felt the earthquake but had damage from it.

The Earthquake Hits

The Long Beach earthquake hit around 5:55 p.m. on March 10, 1933. The initial quake was accompanied by a loud road as it shook buildings and started fires.

“The shock was believed to have been centered in a great upheaval in the Pacific ocean southwest of Long Beach. At Long Beach, the front of a two-story hotel fell away almost immediately, leaving bedrooms and baths exposed as in a show window,” reported the Associated Press.

23 Aftershocks

Aftershocks followed through the next day. There were nearly two dozen, though none nearly as severe as the initial quake.
