Situation Overview

Background:

An earthquake measuring an estimated 6.0 struck southern Napa County early Sunday with widespread reports of damage throughout the area.

This was the largest Bay Area quake since the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, which measured around a 6.9, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Some of the worst damage appeared to be at the Napa Valley Mobile Home Park in Napa, where at least four homes were destroyed by fire and up to eight more were damaged, according to Napa County Fire Capt. Steve Becker. No residents were injured, but three hours after the quake, the fires continued to burn.

Elsewhere, homes and businesses suffered broken glass, overturned furniture, and some structural damage. There were no reports of deaths or serious injuries as of 6:30 a.m., though officials and residents were only beginning to get a complete picture of the situation as the sun rose.
