6.0 Napa Quake Injures Nearly 90 People

At least 87 people have been treated for injuries - three of them critical - this morning following a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Napa County.

The three critically injured people include two adults and one child, according to the City of Napa.

At least four aftershocks larger than 2.0 magnitude have rattled the county this morning, following the original 6.0 magnitude earthquake reported by the U.S. Geological Survey to have hit at 3:20 a.m., about three miles northwest of American Canyon.

The aftershocks have ranged in size from 2.5 to 3.6 magnitude, according to the Geological Survey. Officials with the USGS said this morning’s earthquake is the largest to hit the Bay Area since the Loma Prieta Earthquake almost 25 years ago.

Between 30 and 70 small aftershocks could hit the area during the next week, according to the Geological Survey. California Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. said in a statement this morning the impact of the earthquake is being felt throughout the region.

“My Office of Emergency Services has been on full activation since early this morning and is working close with state and local emergency managers, first responders and transportation officials to respond to impacts to residents and critical infrastructure,” he said. “These safety officials are doing all they can to help residents and those living in affected areas should follow their guidance and instruction.”

There has been major damage to buildings in Napa, and firefighters are battling at least one blaze that damaged several mobile homes.

The popular Napa Valley Wine Train has cancelled operations for today, in order to inspect their trains. An official for the train company says they expect to resume operations tomorrow.
