"Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Typical street view in Patzicia, showing adobe block rubble which is all that remains of the houses that formerly lined this street. The adobe block buildings had very little resistance to horizontal forces and most of them were completely destroyed. Collapse of the heavy adobe walls, roof tiles and beams caused most of the casualties. Many of the adobe blocks are still intact but the mortar between the blocks failed during the seismic shaking. 1976. Slide 43, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165."
- Note: this was from the earthquake of 4 February, 1976.
