6.0 Earthquake in Napa

[boedicca]

Breaking: 6.0 earthquake centered in American Canyon in Napa early this morning. The news is showing a lot of damage...but these could be isolated. Developing.

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Napa County early Sunday, injuring dozens of people, sparking a fire at a mobile home park in Napa and causing extensive damage to buildings in and around downtown Napa, authorities said.

The quake, the largest in the Bay Area since the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, struck 3 miles northwest of American Canyon at 3:20 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was felt as far away as Chico and Fresno, the USGS said.

The tremor was followed by several aftershocks, the largest of which was a magnitude 3.6 that struck 5 miles southwest of Napa at 5:47 a.m....

Looks like Ferguson Missouri.

Maybe the Earth is rioting too.

One local benefit regarding Ferguson is that the small army of Berkeley-Oakland Anarchists has gone there to protest, hence less agents provocateur to launch looting and vandalism.

The news is showing cracks in streets. Pretty bad.

Thank you for the report. All of you living there I will be praying for you today! This is very bad! The earthquake in 89' was horrific! Stay safe!

 

[boedicca]

They're now calling this a 6.1 earthquake...

The Miwok who lived there for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans would have told you that Turtle who holds up the world got tired and needed to move.

I am still waiting to hear back from friends in the area. Hopefully just power outages...

I live 55 miles south in Mountain View and felt it while in bed early this morning. It was like going over 3 quick good-sized bumps in the road and sort of fun, but they are always very scary no matter how small because you never know just how big the shaking will get until it is over.
