Three brave and quick-thinking utility workers immediately cut power and gas to the entire city, preventing widespread fires, saving lives, and shielding Santa Barbara from further destruction.&amp;nbsp; This gave engineers and seismologists a rare laboratory for studying seismic damage without fire obscuring the destruction patterns. What they learned led Santa Barbara to adopt comprehensive seismic building codes. But the city didn\u2019t just build back safer. By mandating both earthquake-resistant construction and a unified Spanish Colonial Revival style, Santa Barbara was reborn as an iconic coastal destination. &amp;nbsp;  \u23f1\ufe0f  Timestamps INTRODUCTION 00:00 \u2013 Welcome 00:20 \u2013 100th Anniversary of 1925 quake 1925 EARTHQUAKE FACTS 00:35 \u2013 Date, time, magnitude 00:46 \u2013 Deaths and Damage 01:13 \u2013 Economic Impact 01:28 \u2013 No Widespread Fires 02:26&amp;nbsp; \u2013 Lessons Learned from the Damage 03:04&amp;nbsp; \u2013 Rebuilding Safer and Beautifully SANTA BARBARA TODAY 03:49 \u2013 Iconic Coastal City 04:14 \u2013 Santa Barbara County Courthouse CLOSING 04:47 \u2013 Closing Message &amp;nbsp;  \ud83d\udcda  Learn More  \ud83d\udd17 QuakeFeed Substack: 1925 Santa Barbara Earthquake https:\/\/quakefeed.substack.com\/p\/1925-santa-barbara-earthquake &amp;nbsp;  \ud83d\udcf1  Download QuakeFeed for Real-Time Alerts Stay informed and safe \u2013 get the QuakeFeed app now: https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/quakefeed-earthquake-alerts\/id403037266 Subscribe to QuakeFeed Premium for the full range of features \u2013 including Historical Earthquakes.
