An attempt is made to correlate ground motions resulting from the October 17, 1989 (Loma Prieta) earthquake with the geologic features of the SLAC site. Recent deformations of the linac are also related to slow motions observed over the past 20 years. Measured characteristics of the earthquake are listed. Some effects on machine components and detectors are noted. Some recommendations regarding instrument site are made.
