			A part of the elevated road above Market Avenue collapsed between Main Street and Fourth Street.

			A 5 story 1900s brick office building collapsed in the North of Market district due to an onramp to I-40 collapsing.

			Multiple brick facades around the downtown core also collapsed.

			The Greenfield Central Library suffered a fire, but luckily most books were spared.

	'''Hunterspoint'''		'''Hunterspoint'''

			Multiple older non-retrofitted buildings had collapsed, most notably the 10 story CJNickels Department Store, which was closed at the time. The department store was a part of the Greenfield Downtown Mall, and had multiple pedestrian bridges crossing between the two. The top story would collapse first, taking the rest of the building with it, including the bridges. The greenfield Mall building would also suffer from the roof collapsing, and multiple bridges through the main hall would collapse with it. The mall would be closed for the next 10 years untill new plans for the new valley expansion would be revealed. The main tower would be where the old department store was, rebuilding some of the facades with the original bricks.

			Parts of the western facade on the Greenfield Museum would collapse too, this would temporarily be restored due to cost constraints, but after 10 years the museum would see a renovation, with a large extention.

	'''Downtown (also ~~includes hunterspoint & chinatown)~~'''		Delrey was close to the epicenter. Due to the earthquake most of interstate I-40 collapsed, blocking any acces in and out of Delrey to Glenview and Ashfield.Delrey consisted of mostly delapitated and abandoned structures that wouldn't have seen any maintenance in years. Due to this, atleast half of the brick built structures in this area either partly collapsed or did so completely. Delrey was also infamous for its homeless population, and alot of the people there at the time got trapped under debris. Newer structures like the Delrey Municipal Court barely saw any damage.

			'''Financial District'''

			Downtown, while not being the epicenter still saw major damages. the bridge between Ashfield and Greenfield partly collapsed, blocking acces to both I-40 and the esplanade. The parking garage for the aquarium collapsed, but luckily the aquarium building saw minimal damage. Mutliple old brick warehouse in the North of Market district collapsed, and the Greenfield library saw major damages to the roof.

			A 24 story tower was under construction in the financial district on the location of the Greencast Energy Center, The building was at 9 stories at the time. In the initial quake a crane fell onto the road, but the whole building came down in the first aftershock. Luckily noone was at the site when it collapsed.

 The earthquake struck in the Greenfield Bay Area about 95 miles (152 km) Southwest of downtown Los Angeles. While the quake's epicenter was within Greenfield, cities in the San Fernando valley, like Northridge, also suffered major damages.
-== The earthquake ==
+== Damages ==
-It was a windy morning in the Greenfield Bay area. Residents woke up to get ready for work, while residents working the night shifts returned home from a nights work. At 4:30 AM. PST a large roar filled the city, followed by heavy shaking that lasted approximately 30-40 seconds. Damage occurred up to 95 miles away, with the most damage in the Greenfield Bay area and the San Fernando Valley. The area most affected by the earthquake were the neighbourhoods of [[Ashfield]], Northpark, [[Clinton]] and other central areas like [[Glenview]]. Many older apartment buildings suffered major damages, and even collapsed, most famously the Carrien, which stood 8 floors tall in Downtown Ashfield. Unfortunately, the city saw major losses; the highway leading up to the bridge from Downtown Greenfield to Ashfield partly collapsed onto the brand new marina under it. An old historic warehouse on one of the piers completely collapsed, and so did 9 other buildings. The tallest finished structure was the 12-storey tall apartment building that was right next to the bridge connecting Downtown Greenfield and Ashfield. Many buildings in Ashfield were badly damaged, and had to either be repaired or torn down.
+A large roar filled the Greenfield Bay Area at 4:31 a.m. PST. Followed by 40 seconds of non-stop shaking, The epicenter of the quake was in Glenview, This area, and others around it were the hardest hit areas of the city, and also the most populous. Unfortunately massive damage was done to infrastructure and buildings and it would take weeks, sometimes months to get back to normal.
 Northpark, Clinton, Springfield and western Ashfield had mainly large warehouses and factories. During the first earthquake, many of these were not up-to-date and collapsed. A large crane that wasn't bolted correctly fell onto the nearby interstate [[I-15]], blocking the road for the duration of the week while engineers hurried to remove it from the scene.

So at 3:59:19 p.m. PST the second aftershock, almost 12 hours after the first struck. An 6.8 aftershock that lasted for 10-20 seconds struck the city.

	This second aftershock was almost another earthquake by itselves.		This second aftershock was almost another earthquake by itselves. An 11 story 1910s building collapsed onto the road below, crushing multiple cars on the road below. Most of the interstates were blocked off and unstable, so when an off-ramp in Los Llanos collapsed onto the highway below, noone was hurt.

			More of the roof of the terminal 1 wing collapsed onto the terminal below.

			Around 19 more unstable buildings collapsed in the aftershock, and many rescue operations were halted.

			After this aftershock, emergency services started moving debris and collapsed infrastructure, and made alternate routes so residents could easily leave the city without sitting in traffic for hours. Many of these residents had to temporarily stay somewhere else so the city set up a temporary bus route from the first aid camps to the nearby towns and cities. Rescue operations were going on for the remaining of the day and they started fixing some of the collapsed infrastucture at the end of the day.

			== Victims ==
			205 people died in this earthquake, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in california since the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.

			25 people were in the bank of despair tower when it collapsed, 11 people evacuated before the first aftershock hit, but unfortunately when the building collapsed 24 of the 25 people in the building died. 1 person survived and she was found and rescued 2 days after the original collapse. The Building collapsed onto the bridge and warehouses below, killing 1 person as she was driving on the bridge, and injuring 3 workers in the warehouse.

			One of the deadliest disasters was the collapse of interstate I-105, with cars being buried in debris and crushed under infrastructure. Many nightshft residents were driving home, while early morning workers were driving to work. Atleast 31 cars were on the interstate, and 2 people were in the parking lot beneath the interstate. The earthquake struck and large parts of the bridge collapsed onto the parking lot below. A couple who just returned from an early morning jog in the park were both found dead, as they stood nexto their car in the parking lot below. another 29 people died due to cars being buried by rubble. and 4 people who were skating in the skatepark all died due to the falling debris. 35 people died in this horrible incident.

			== Aftermath ==
			Rescue operations were going on for atleast another week, many residents opted to stay outside of the city in fear for another aftershock, which never came.

			Many businesses were closed for days after the quake, and greenfield took a large economical hit.

			The ashfield and Downtown hospitals were both closed due to structural concerns, and the people had to be moved into nearby hospitals, making them overfilled and short on staff.

			Cleaning up the debris took weeks, and was very difficult in some cases, the train that crashed into the canal, the collapsed bank of despair tower, and other large peices of debri took weeks, almost months to clean up. To this day there is still collapsed buildings all over the city, but especially on the northern side.

			During the first few days phone services and electrical was out and wouldnt return untill 5 days after the earthquake, while less important areas like Los Llanos and Westwood didnt have power untill 2 weeks later.

			The death toll was 205, with more than 10 thousand injured. In addition, property damage was estimated to be $45–150 billion.

			Even though many people recovered in the years after, many are still traumatized and miss their family members lost in the earthquake, many memorials were put up for the earthquake, with people calling it "the earthquake that shook the world", for example a mural was made in Glenview called Windflower Wildfire, which pictures a grassland with a large windflower burning down.
