area. again. >> the 3.9 earthquake hit american canyon at 5:33 this morning. here is a map of the area. viewers including redwood shores have been reporting feeling the earthquake. it is quiet now but in the last half hour we registered 3.9 and 2.7 earthquake and 1.9 all in american canyon area. we asked people on twitter what they felt and if they felt it and we getting opinions including victor from san francisco saying, yes, rattled nerves. and it was felt in marin county from the news, and another felt it in daly city. >> someone felt it in san francisco saying the shower door

was shaking and someone else said they felt it in san mateo and another viewer in petaluma who said they woke up in petaluma get out of bed but corey in west petaluma said did not feel the shaking in west future plume. >> we have someone on the phone has a lot experience with earthquakes and he felt the let home and felt the evening on sunday morning and the aftershock. he is a photographer here. how did it feel, bill? >> this morning it felt like the going of the earthquake on sunday and then it didn't go all the way through to the intense the way through to the intense shaking but it was violent

>> was this damage on sunday? is there additional damage or anything falls off shelves? >> nothing this morning fell off the shelves but sunday for the first time on many of earthquakes i stuff that fell. loma prietas with more of a rolling up-and-down rolling motion and the one on sunday was just a hard jolt, side to side jolt that affected the house. >> bill i heard similar stories in napa and everyone was saying what a mess it made, and it souped to be violent. it must have been scary to feel the initial shock you felt open sunday and then it ended. what was going through your minds?

>> you start and you think, well, i felt this before and i am prepared if it gets bad and i will take cough can try to find a safe place if something happens and if stuff falls off the shelves and it subsided and there was a second aftershock. you live in earthquake country you have to be prepared and it is scary. you have to find a place and take cover and ride it out. then assess the damage. >> bill we are looking at pictures of drown vallejo and napa valley area damaged by the last evening. did you take any steps to earthquake-proof your surrounding or make it safer in the wake of sunday's earthquake?

we try to do that constantly but sometimes we let it slide. >> why mean to say i have done everything but i do have all my cabinets and large furniture attached to the wonderful so they will not fall over. i have an, slow kit for 30 supply and dry food and water located in two separate places one in the garage and one in the house. is to be prepared. if we have a really big earthquakes bigger than sunday, the fire departments cannot get to you for 72 hours. they will be going to the extreme emergencies first and then they move on to smaller things like they doing now checking the houses and calling in to have chimneys tested or they have large cracks. that is day down the road, not

the initial time. >> thank yous bill, for your perspective. the beginning of this earthquake felt like the earthquake on sunday so a lot people have had scary thoughts. 3.9 is pretty significant. >> we did not feel it butters in san francisco felt the earthquake. meteorologist mike nicco has been checking out social media gathering information. >> and twitter was pinole and another was if a deep sleep and woke up and john king felt it in redwood city. we hear as far south as redwood shores. when it is over into the east bay they do not feel it as far south especially inland valleys where the ground is harder.

it hit southwest of the napa county airport. that area will shake more violently because it is sediment fill from the river. we had 14 percent chance of a strong aftershock, 5.0 and we expect two to 12 weak aftershocks three to five so we are hitting 50 percent right now of those two and there are possibly 12 expected. hopefully this is not a shock other than it woke you up. we knew it would happen with two or 12 expected and the larger earthquake is still at 5 percent to 10 percent. the center, again, is to the southwest of the napa county airport and that is why we are able to feel it as far south as we did on the peninsula as it traveled through the bay under
