Earthquake Story
McHenry's Auto Supply suddenly collapsed during an earthquake in San Francisco on Monday morning. According to Jennifer Vu, a public information officer at the Hayward Fire Department, two were killed and six were injured.
Mike Beamer, a resident of Hayward, described the earthquake as a rolling motion that lasted for about thirty seconds. “I was eating my breakfast when the room started rolling. I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming start across the street,” Beamer said. Ropes were used by Hayward Firefighters to stabilize the Auto Supply shop. They also capped a gas leak. According to Penny Gertz, the epicenter of the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale. Some arriving within four minutes of the earthquake, 21 fire personnel, 12 police, and five American Red Cross workers responded. Three of six injured were hospitalized.
