The city bears visible scars of an earthquake, a likely reference to the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, three years before the game takes place, though dialogue suggests that an earthquake has occurred just recently.  The most obvious sign of the intense damage is the crumbled section of freeway lying to the immediate west of [[Garver Bridge]]'s San Fierro approach, which is an apparent emulation of the damage done to [[wp:California State Route 480|San Francisco's Embarcadero Freeway]], whose remnants could be seen for years after the earthquake. The freeway section does not seem to have any visible connection to the existing freeway, however. The city's infrastructure and buildings are not visibly damaged from the earthquake, the only such damage being in the Doherty area.
