Bummer May 27th
May 27, 1792: Two large earthquakes cause the Mayuyama dome of Mount Unzen to collapse. A landslide hit the city of Shimabara. When the mass of debris reached Ariake Bay, it triggered a tsunami that swept across the bay and hit Higo Province before rebounding and striking Shimabara again. The earthquakes, landslide, and tsunami are thought to have killed 15,000 people.
May 27, 1907: As San Francisco is still recovering from the great earthquake of the previous year, health officials identify patients suffering from bubonic plague. The outbreak, which also includes patients in nearby Oakland, will eventually kill 78 people.
