A shout out to anyone in the earthquake area. Thinking of Chet Feathers and others.

The Napa Valley earthquake is considered as the most largest affecting San Francisco Bay in 25 years.

Two much stronger quakes - each with a magnitude of 6.4 and 7.0 respectively in the Richter scale - hit Chile and southern Peru shortly after.

So far there have been no reports of fatalities this time around, though there have been numerous casualties with several people seriously injured. Buildings in the towns of Napa and Vallejo have suffered structural damage, stores have seen their wares scattered over the floor by the shaking and some parts of highways were closed temporarily as a precaution.

California's governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in the southern part of Napa County, which is home to numerous vineyards as well as other businesses.

Felt from San Francisco to Sacramento, the Napa Valley quake was one of the largest to strike the region since 1989's magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta quake. Early news reports on Twitter suggest that a local hospital has received at least 70 patients with injuries.

Scientists suspected the San Andreas fault as the main cause for the disaster.

I'm about 60 miles away, and it woke me up in the middle of the night...nothing serious, but it did have the bed moving for a few seconds after I was awake.
