can beceivindeceiving. their crew took a tour through the church and chose to red tag the building, deeming it unsafe. since then, highway 29, this major thoroughfare through vallejo has been cut off. the city manager said it was an important move for crews to act quickly and secure the area surrounding the church. >> there's a chuch at the corner of carolina and sonoma, which has very, very shaky building conditions. and we're shutting down highway 29 in front of that building to address that hazard. it apparently is in such a precarious condition, may fall into the highway. we have shut that building down, obviously. and we're addressing that problem right now. >> you heard him correctly. they fear part of that church could collapse at any time, so

they have chose to block off the area, this, again, is another view from sky 7 hd. we're keeping an eye on that bell tower as well. ten buildings have been red tagged for nonuse. all commercial. one is mixed use, including the post office at 457 santa clara. the red cross was here, but according to the city manager, they cleared it once it became their services were no longer needed. the yellow tape continues to surround the building, and we have seen crowds grow to more or less check it out for themselves. this is highway 29, and you can imagine the effect it's caused on traffic. there's another piece of information i want to share for you. there's a new e-mail address for any incidents around the nappy quake. if you have any issues at all, go to our website and see the e-mail address to e-mail your concern. that e-mail address is established for the citizens of

vallejo is earthquake2014ci at valle vallejo.us. that's on our website. and meanwhile, in napa, cleanup is under way and inspectors hard at work. they have red tagged 49 buildings. that means too dangerous to enter. more than 100 more have been yellow tagged. 208 people treated for injuries at queen of the valley medical center. 17 are still hospitalized and one is in critical condition. utility crews are making progress. power has been restored to all but really a handful of people, and pg&e has dealt with all reported gas leaks. no more that we're aware of. public schools will be closed to students again tomorrow. so inspectors can finish their work. i'm here live on brown street at the corner of third and brown. this street has become so symbolic of the damage this

earthquake caused, and there are bricks literally littering the street, and several have fallen since we have been here. many places as you look around the downtown napa area, scenes of devastation. the earthquake has caused so many others to suffer huge losses as well. among them is charlotte walter who was hoping to sell her home of 35 years. the floors were listing, buckling, the walls had cracked and the plaster was falling apart. it took down the for sale sign today. you can't sell it like that. walter is looking to save what she can save. >> we'll see what is salvageable. hope springs eternal. hope, they say there are ways they can lift and move and maybe

adjust. so we'll see. >> in the newsroom at the napa valley register, the hometown newspaper, reporters and editors held their meeting outside today. the newsroom was rendered inhabitable by the quake. they put out the paper despite seeing the gigantic printing press cracked and journalists getting their work done no matter what. so the folks got the job done today. they're to be congratulated because so many of their readers depend on them for the information they have to share. now, let's move to that terrible injury to the 13-year-old boy when the chimney collapsed on top ofñr him. sergio is live with his progress and the emotional message from his best friend. >> dan, yeah, his family has graciously allowed us into his home to show you exactly what happened. this is that fireplace that fell apart sunday morning during that

earthquake. i'm told that nicolas's friend was asleep on the couch. nicolas here on the floor, he tried to get away, but the bricks came tumbling down upon him. bits and pieces of brick and mortar, the remnants of the fireplace have all been piled in the backyard. nicolas's aunt said the 13-year-old tried to move before it all came crashing down. >> he jolted upwards to reach for his friend, yell his name, and as he was crawling away with the shaking, the bricks fell on him. >> this is his best friend who was just inches away. >> he yelled my name. and then, like, in pain. and i said his name. and after a few seconds, his parents came over. >> they're clearly emotional about watching his friend get hurt. he says they were both doing math homework in dillon's living

room saturday night and fell asleep but were shaken awake by the quake sunday morning. dillon hade it through an intensive nine-hour surgery and is now recovering in sacramento. >> he himself said he was thankful he was able to move from where he was, laying under the fireplace. >> if he hadn't tried to get away from the falling bricks and warn his friend, the situation could have been much worse. his family said they have the fireplace worked on years ago after a prior quake, so they're surprised it came down. his best friend tells us he's hoping for a fast recovery. >> i support him, and so do all his friends and family. >> good news this afternoon. i'm hold that nick ololas is improving. his condition has gone from c t critical to now serious. reporting like, sergio quintana. >> sergio, thanks very much. we're all hoping for the best for the young man.

nice to know he's making progress. the most serious injury we're aware of as a result of this earthquake. when you see it on television, it's quite different than when you see it in person. let meshow you what we're dealing with at 3rd and brown street. the corner of this building is collapsed. we pan down, all these bricks crushing that car. it gives you a sense of what that poor man went through when bricks fell on top of him. that's a really, really dangerous situation. we all wish him the best, but this is the scene all over downtown napa. so many people i have spoken with have come don in person to see it for themselves. they saw it on television and some live here, some don't live here, and they wanted to be here in person to offer their support and take a look at the damage for themselves and see how bad it is. and the people i spoke with were all surprised. >> this is your hometown, you live in napa. >> it is. >> when you look at the damage, what goes through your mind?

>> it seems like it's happening somewhere else, and now to walk the streets, which is why we're doing it, to help process the whole thing, to see the trucks, it almost seems lake a war zone, like apocalyptic stuff. >> why are you here? >> to see if i can connect with people and help with resources. i know there's a lot of people who want to give and a lot of people who need, but putting the resources together is difficult. >> and several people will tell us the same thing as we have been down talking with people today. it's really surreal to see it in person like this, and this is exactly what i'm talking about, good folks who have come down here. many live in the yare yea. many are from not too far away, and some on vacation wanted to see this for themselves. a lot of people who live here today after the initial shock have gotten a chance togo back to their homes and survey what damage was done and what needs to be done to begin to make the

repairs. leenema lendez is covering that part of the story tonight. she's here live as well. >> hey, dan. well, yes, people here have dumped a lot of debris at brown valley school, one of many schools where they can do so. some of the stuff they're throwing away, as you can see, earthquake related. other stuff, well, not so much, but they have closed this site now because it's just become so huge. they're now telling people to go to another location. century park, but still, you can see how much was lost here. lou has owned this home for 38 years. the chimney collapsed, falling on the roof which then collapsed the ceiling. >> when the chimney landed on the roof, it broke one rafter so we're going to have to repair that. and then i'm taking the whole

chimney down. >> he's tired a contractor. several homes on twin oaks drive will have to under go extensive repaired. structural engineers are available to homeowners to evaluate the damage. they're recommending if you hire a contractoric make sure he or she is licensed. >> there are people who are unscrupulous and will take advantage of the situation and tell you you need x, y, and z done and prentd to do it and then take you money. >> it's not just cosmetic. >> businesses than deal in window and glass replacement have been overwhelmed following yesterday's quake. >> this started early yesterday morning, 4:30, 5:00. so we just started making contact and going downtown, trying to hem out as much as we would with board-ups and getting dimensions to provide quotes to do the repairs. some some of the residents at this senior relation home were

broken or the framed became detached. there are drop-off boxes for businesses to get rid of their debris. thosis boxes are also located at all schools here. abc 7 news. >> all right. we have had a lot of field coverage from napa, but i have to tell you, we just had a 2.9 aftershock from the quake that hannaned yesterday in napa. 6.0 earthquake, and we had continuing aftershocks, but this is a fairly good sized one. we'll find out hoar, and just ahead, back live to napa. i'm michael finney. 7 on your side, and right now, at the cross walk baptist church, community church here in napa with a group of experts who can answer your questions. drop by up to 7:00, or tweet us or go on facebook and e-mail us.

the warning that went out before the napa earthquake hit. how soon will there be an app for that?

seismologist are back in the napa area survaiving the fault line that produced yesterday's quake. they have been looking for sig s s like these, shifts in the ground. this was fairly typical for a magnitude 6.2 quake. it causes the fault to shift by about 2 inches. >> a long list trend, we found not only roads that were sideways, but the fault actually propagated and was observed on the earth, on soil, in

faurmland. >> seismologists say though close to theept center felt a strong but close shaking. they're not ready to say the quake came from the west napa fault. he says that it might be a previously unmapped fault. so what would you do if you had a 10-second or 15-second warning an earthquake was about to hit? that's not just an imaginary idea. it's technology to provide that warning exists. the only thing missing is the money. >> earthquake, earthquake. light shaking expected. >> this 10-second warning went out yesterday, but it only went to a few select test users. the goal of the u.s. geologist survey is to make these available to everyone on the west coast. scientists say even a few seconds can save lives. >> it takes you less than three seconds to drop cover and hold

on. under a desk or a table. >> 10 or 15 seconds could also be critical to first responders and people in dangerous work places. >> if you're in say a factory environment where you're close to hazardous materials, a few seconds is enough to get out of harm's way. >> quake alert. shaking in 105 seconds. >> this is a test version of the warning system that could be on your cell phone. it uses the phone's gps to find your location. then calculates how far you are from the epicenter and how many seconds you have until the shaking starts. >> one second to shaking. >> they estimate it would cost $23 million to get the warning system up and running for california and another $11 million a year to maintain and operate it. but for now, lawmakers have not approved the money. >> we believe that once the system is funded, we can go public within two years. >> and that could save lives, so

what would you do with a ten-second warning that an earthquake is about to hit? i want to know what you think about it, so go to my facebook page and let me know. >> flashlights and water and clothes and shoes nearby and all that stuff, but we would have probably secured everything a little bet. we lost a lot of memories. >> that man in west napa thought he was prepared for yesterday's quake and then realized, you know what, he was not, and he is not alone. so many people caught by surprise. here we are again at brown and 3rd street. this nissan sent raw has seen better days. that's the story all over. the wine country, as people begin to assess the damage. take a look at what we can do next time to be better prepare. some people need help and the rest of us need to be ready for the next event. that's what michael finney is all about today. he's put together one of his

terrific panels of experts to really help people get the information they need. what a great risource you put together. >> hey, thank you very much, dan, and terrific is the word to use. we have been telling you if you have questions or concerns about the earthquake or the recovery or what is going to happen next time, to please give us a call. please go to social media or drop by here. we have pg, and e, state farm, department of insurance, humane society, the earthquake authority, and the insurance information institute, and with me from the united policy holders a consumer group for policy homeowners is amy. amy, we seem to see each other at moments like this. >> yeah. >> what is united policy holders? >> we're a nonprofit and an information resource for insurance consumers of all types in all 50 states. happened to be headquartered in the bay area.

>> we have asked you to come by and answer questions with consumers. here's a guy who has a question for you. his name is robert. let me get you over there. thanks a lot, robert. what are you dealing with? >> i have a victorian i'm renting across the way, and it slid 18 inches across the foundation. we're out, so now i'm out on the street. is fema going to step in, bring in cash, housing for people? i'm sure there's a lot of people out of jobs, out of money. >> that's an excellent question. i'm sure a lot of people of thinking that. any help for renter snz. >> there's absolutely going to be help here with the social service agencies that are local. it's been declared a state emergency already. we don't know yet whether it will be the federal emergency that would bring in fema money and grants, but there will be resources locally to help displaced renters. there will be relatively short term. >> okay, now, right now,

tomorrow's the big day because that's when they set up the relief center, correct? >> yes, well actually, wednesday is when the long-term recovery centers -- >> wednesday. >> wednesday is when the long-term recovery center is scheduled to open, and we should know within a few days whether there will be a federal declaration. again, i wouldn't wait around for that. >> i'm going to let you keep talking. thank you very much. thank you for your question. amy, thank you very much. we'll be here up to 7:00 tonight. if you have questions or concerns, go through social media and contact me or come down and talk to these people directly. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> all right, michael, that is absolutely a great resource, as dan ashley said. michael, and the 7 on your side team will be in napa, just a reminder, until 7:00 at the cross walk community church. and of course, he'll be talking about earthquake insurance, keeping your pet safe and also what the red cross can do for

you. time to take a look at weather. let's go outside with sandhya patel. >> it's really beautiful out here, mild, breezy, sun shining. we do have just a couple of patches of low clouds out there. most areas are enjoying the sun, but the temperatures are lower. mid-60s to low 80s and tracking showers and thunderstorms in the tahoe area. take a look at the live picture. the rain is coming down in the lake tahoe area. 67, san francisco. most areas in the 70s. water vapor imagery shows us what brought us the cool down. the dry trough that is responsible for the thunderstorms in the sierra. high pressure builds in tomorrow. warming begins, but we're keeping our eye on a powerful hurricane 4 maria in the pacific. packing gusts up to 160 miles per hour. expected to kick up large southerly swells. high surf advisory.

waves up to 10 to 15 feet. on our coastline, a marine statement, watch out for stro stronger than normal currents and a large southerly flow to arrive tomorrow morning. some areas of clouds. it's sunny and warmer. numbers will range from the mid- to upper 60s. the seven-day forecast. warming trend continues wednesday and thursday. hot inland. low 70s, temperatures going down a little bit. over the weekend, we'll get some clouds from marie. >> thank you so much. still ahead at 5:00, the stories of some of the people who aren't letting their own hardships stopping them from helping their neighbors. >> and michael finney told us how to donate. text 90999 to the red cross. that will send a $10 donate. you'll see the charge on your phone bill. red cross, 90999.

a meeting will be held to discuss the future of the napa first methodist church. part of the fusade is in danger of falling fauf. church staffers trying to save a stained glass window originally from germany. that dates back to 1864. >> it's open for business, so people can get the supplies they need to fix their own damages. the company called employees and stores all across the bay to help. they rushed a lot of supplies in for cleanup and repairs just in case the power goes out again. and the city of nappy has placed drop boxes in several places. you can drop off your debris at napa high school, civil

elementary school. they have set up post offices in vallejo and napa. you can pick up your mail at the two post offices listed. two post offices saw heavy damage from the quake and they're now closed. >> social media became an enormous resource for helping during the quake. napa city manager credits social media for getting information to the public. this is a lot different that the quake 20 years ago. downed power lines and outages made it difficult for all of us to get ahold of the authorities or loved ones or to get information. so few people had mobile phones back then. and the internet was not around. >> this quake in napa is a really good and important reminder that it pays to be prepared all the time for natural disasters. >> and dan, we have a full list of resources on our website from

what you should have in your emergency kit to making your family safe to the basics of earthquake insurance and how to decide whether it's right for you. all that information at abc7'

we continue our live coverage of the napa earthquake cleanup and recovery. let's go back to dan ashley from the scene. dan. >> cheryl, thanks very much. a remarkable day here today as people really begin to pick up the pieces and assess exactly what they're dealing with. i'll be back with a full report. our team is here. we're fully involved in this story. we'll bring you a lot of live team coverage at 6:00. including new at 6:00 tonight, you know, first reports after this happened indicated the quake was centered on the west napa fault. we'll take a look at why
