On April 18th, 1906 at 5:12 AM, the famous Earthquake struck San
Francisco.

On April 18, 2006, there is of course a celebration at Lotta's fountain.
It looks like it's going to be huge.

But just as nobody noticed that the 21st century began in 2001 and not
2000, nobody will notice that they're celebrating the quake an hour
early.

The Earthquake hit at 5:12AM PST, and will be celebrated at 5:12AM PDT.
The real anniversary moment is at 6:12AM PDT.

Please adjust your jubilations accordingly.
