Well, when you live in earthquake country, you get earthquakes. And, Sunday morning, there was a good one: 6.0 on the Richter Scale. The epicenter was located at the southern end of the Napa Valley, the premier grape growing valley of the USA. Damage was extensive in the city of Napa, but, fortunately, relatively few injuries. 32 buildings were red tagged as uninhabitable, and scores more yellow tagged(repairable).
Wineries suffered small amounts of damage, but the 2014 crop is still on the vine, harvest being about a month away. Tourists and wine drinkers waited until late morning before cancelling excursions to the famed valley's wine shops. Some after shocks continue to rumble through the area.
Earthquake country- a living legend.
