>> unofficially in official capacity, what impressed you most? >> first responders did an exceptional job. not surprisingly. just the coordination between the city and the state of california. the challenge is what happens two to three days from now. folks that are in homes that deceivingly weren't destroyed that are now having structural damage and they need help. >> what are you here to deliver? >> we've been consistent communication with the governor's office. here's a perfect example. folks are taking care of water needs. we want to make sure everybody is okay. want to make sure we're here for the long run. personal belongs, two to three days from now. making sure people get their lives back together and get firm footing. >> is there anything that isn't

working the way it should be, or are you surprised things are working well? >> seek first to understand and be understood. in the next few days, people will more objectively look at that. i've been out here four hours, not just here but all over. people feel good about the response. the state needs to get the federal government and make sure we're doing appropriate damage assessment to did get them to reimburse. >> the state is primarily money? >> money and mutual aid to make sure we're filling the gaps and holes. local folks here on the scene. as a former mayor, san francisco, locals don't get in their ways and provide support. always again make sure you're there in the long run not just the short run, particularly in communities like this. napa valley is not all fancy wineries. folks on fixed incomes that don't know what the heck just happened and need us here a

month or two. >> you were will there when the earthquake struck. >> i was there. i had three kids. that was their first experience. we felt it had. i had grown up in the bay area, loma prieta, was there in the heart and soul of that quake. that was big. this was remarkably big. we were near the epicenter. i've got 400 employees here, six businesses. we shut down most of those businesses. all those employees have a story and their family members. people are really -- it's a 6.0, people say calm down. look at this. it's rattled a lot of nerves and did a lot of damage. >> i'm curious what you told your kids. >> i was not the perfect dad. they thought i was shaking the bed. i said yeah i was just waking you. this is the price of living in the bay area. it's a wake up call to everybody. 72 hours.org. it's a website every person

watching, everybody listening should go to. make their own emergency plans. big quakes that are a concern around the hayward falls. the reality is we're living in a part of the world that's beautiful for a reason. mother nature reminds us of her furry periodically. >> this is also a reminder about the early warning system. >> we've got to fund it. we had a 10 second warning here. we can gets up to 60 seconds most experts believe. berkeley perfected this technology. we've seen it in taiwan and china. i'm not calling the governor or some news headline, but i'd like to see the governor's office take that seriously. we have the technology. we could provide a little warning. $80 million plus was the last estimate. i think it's thyme. >> do you think this will get the wheels rolling?

>> first thing when i was sworn in major of san francisco, i was going to be a prepared area. the reason we have 72 hour.org is a may josh earthquake. chances are you're on your own first 72 hours. people have to take that seriously. it's the price of living in the bay area and california. we can do our part as first responders. to an extent the technology can provide that. at the end of the day, it's neighbors reaching out to neighbors, being prepared at ho home. >> i assume you have spots you want to visit. >> one of the rock stars in the governor's office, the point on this. they've been doing a great job and consistent contact with him and the governor's office is outstanding. as a former major, i used to get frustrated with the state not feeling they take things

seriously enough. i'm actually pleased today with the response and seriousness. there's always more to learn. there will be a post assessment. we'll raise the bar. we live in the bay area, a part of the country where 6.0 is serious, but 7.0 is likely in the future with two major faults 100 plus years overdue. >> the former governor assessing state business and personal business because he has his own wineries and other businesses in that area. speaking to our bob ri dell. focussing on early detection system and what the state's response he thinks should be. we bring in rob about the early detection system is. we know they have it in place. folks at berkeley say they have it ready to go. it's in place some places. it's not at the level it should be because it would require $80 million. >> yeah. and you would wanted the sensors over a much wider area. they were able to run a

simulation based on the detection of the earthquake in napa. as the animation plays out, you'll see moving at the speed of sound, we have waves radiating out from napa. we go over to the other computer, we hopefully show this to you. it took 10 seconds for waves to move out of napa. see the count down clock at the time. waves radiating out from southern end of the county giving 5 to 10 seconds of leave time. imagine this happened in the middle of the night. if you happened to be up and around at the hour, you could find cover under a table top or get away from something that could fall on you. that's an example of a quake that strikes in napa. say we have a 7.0 or 8.0, 100 to 200 miles away, perhaps the leave time could be 30 seconds or longer. that's worked for japan and out towards mexico. they've implemented these

systems. perhaps we'll see more as we see more of this technology here. the quake catcher network tide to stanford and usgf. it's plugged into a desk top computer or laptop and detects motion like a monitor does on your smart phone. it registers the motion, sends it back to a server. if you have a major event, it would alarm and look for similar locations within the same zip code. that would send the alert there's a major event underway. 10 to 30 seconds later you continue to see warnings popping up. that could be the benefit on a morning like today. we did have aftershocks up to 3.6 so far. keep in mind the sequence for a 6.0 earthquake carries on several weeks. the numbers, 60 plus in counting. that tends to tail off quickly. the intensity could be there to produce aftershock of 5.0 or 4.0 over the next few days.

the last significant aftershock we've seen only felt around parts of the napa 2.2 happening at 2:38. this is what it looked like when waves arrived. sensor stations picking up the wave and pinpointing the epicenter, noting the time it took for the wave to reach other locations around the bay area. duration of the main shock and rolling and jarring motion we saw around the bay area for most people, they felt that 20 to 30 seconds. what we see around the bay area are different levels of intensity in terms of shaking based upon geology. right here where the earthquake was west of napa airport, three locations come out. downtown napa, vallejo and sonoma. you have soft mud around the northern end of san pablo bay susceptible to increased shaking due to that type of material temperatures. napa along the river and downtown area, there's the

potential of shaking to be enhanced made worse by unreinforced masonry. even 5.0 quake, you'd see that damage. around american canyon and vallejo, red and orange, those are areas where you see the enhanced shaking effects. same story in sonoma. let's say this were closer to the bay bridge. san francisco and oakland have much more widespread areas with fill or soil where shaking becomes much more extreme. we saw loma prieta in '89, part of the district around san francisco. that's something to take into account. notice the difference in energy t pattern between today's event, bulls eye over napa versus loma prieta in 1989. you saw the shaking intensity spread over a much larger area. today we had the damage in downtown napa. types of structure played a role. the geology beneath the surface makes the bay area unique.

fantastic for wine growing culture. it does increase the energy. in the last ten years we've had a couple of quakes near 5.0. today 6.0, ten times larger, 32 times the energy release we've seen with more recent 5.0 earthquakes. with the last napa fault, last time we saw this significant, 6.3 in 1989. look at buildings that have not been exposed to shaking quite some time. something matched close to it this morning at 6.0. the aftershocks may continue in the same area the next week or so. we may see more aftershocks, at least 50% chance close to 5.0 or slightly smaller in next few days. >> thank you. rarely do we talk about the west napa fault line. that's what shook this morning, the west napa fault line. it's not just 16 or 17 buildings

that have been red tagged. also a are lot of homes. more than 90 in napa have been red tagged. that also means hotels are filling up, not with tourists but homeowners this the area leaving their homes, checking into local hotels. they don't know when they're able to go back to their homes. some have lost their homes, destroyed. we bring in bob from the mobile home park where this morning soon after the 3:20 quake, those homes behind you bob went up in flames. >> reporter: i think what surprised or better yet horr horrified people in the mobile home is how fast that natural gas line ignited. there was an explosion. blow torch of blames that destroyed the three mobile homes here. >> about a 3:00 i think our time. kind of was a wake. tried to roll over.

bang it went. my wife goes leave me alone. i jumped out of bed and immediately saw flames out there. we said let's get the [ bleep ] out of here. dresser knocked over, glass all over the place. we went outside quickly. it was scary. pretty soon they took about 10 to 15 minutes for fire trucks to get out there. there was no water. they couldn't do anything with hoses. scary like [ bleep ]. i've been through a lot of earthquakes, but this is the worst i've felt i think. >> the biggest challenge in fighting the fire at the napa valley mobile home park was the water or lack thereof. this greeted the fire department as they entered the park. this morning's quake ruptured this park's water supply which meant little to no water pressure for firefighters

relying on hhydrants. they had to call the other counties for additional water. that took 20 to 30 minutes. they were limited on what they could do. thankfully no wind last night. again back out here live, looking at one of the three homes destroyed at this site. there are a few more damaged. there was another gas pipeline fire a couple of blocks in that direction. that destroyed a fourth mobile home. four destroyed here by fire, few more damaged. you have homes that were structurally damaged or destroyed to an extent by the shaking itself. this here unfortunately being a prime example. we've seen quite a few mobile homes like this. the owner said his house moved three feet east, one foot to the south. he's expecting this home is going to be condemned.

fortunately he has family. we've spoken to people who have family, friends or neighbors. you get the sense when you hang out here and talk to people in the mobile home park, it's a tight knit community, at least when faced with a crisis like this. >> in that mobile home park, he's been there more than ten hours sharing stories with families that have lost their homes. three of them and a lot more damaged. >> the shake system gives warning. one of the big things they want to stress, if that were in place more widespread, in extended so it could give 30 to 40 seconds. you would see gas companies being able to be alerted and turn off main lines. you might be able to avoid these. things like the gas company, chemical companies, a crane operator at the port being able to shut down. there would be a widespread

distribution not just homeowners but businesses that would impact homeowners too. two shelters open. one in vallejo and one in napa for people that have been displaced from their homes. some are moving out there. talking about people going to hotels. at this point, we're at how many homes? >> 90 to 100 have been red ta tagged in addition to 16 buildings. in theory, at 3:20 this morning no one was in the buildings. courthouse, post office, et cetera. the 90 to 100 homes have been red tagged. hopefully those people have friends and family to go to. if not, they're checking into local hotels in napa and across the wine country. >> you have a giant slew of others that can stay in their homes but maybe without water and electricity. this may be the situation the next week or so. experts continue to stress how

important it is to be survivalable on your own for 72 hours, completely without any help. you must have food and water for emergency purposes. that water that we're talking about. look, if this is what your kitchen looks like, you're not going to salvage much. you have to have the kit in another location, preferably inside a box of some sort so you can have it. if you don't, you're supposed to have two quarts to a gallon of water per person per day. if you do not have that and have to run tap water, you should have germicidal tablets. get them in a store, online. it's a water purification. throw a tablet in. ready in 35 minutes. it takes water -- when pipelines break, water may have bacteria in it. you want to make that drinkable for yourself. >> i remember from 1989, the last time we had an earthquake this size, that was 6.9. this morning was 6.0.

in the subsequent years, '90, '91, we got diligent having our plans and being prepare aprepar. it's worth noting that was before cell phone use. we get lagged into this many the sense we get this false comfort of we have a significant earthquake, we'll text or call a family members or friends and get help that way. that's likely not going to be the case in a major earthquake meaning 7.0 or greater. even now with 6.0, a lot of cell service in napa is affected. people are having a hard time communicating. imagine 6.5 or greater, cell service won't be active. we'll have to rely on old fashioned plans such as meeting poib points, rely on each other.

>> you should have the supplies in your home and in your car. drinkable water. you should have medicine, change of clothing. all these types of things. flares in your car if you're on the side of the road and need that. that should be in your car as well. you don't know how long if you get trapped in your car. in this case, it's just a garage that fell, no one was in there. if you find yourself in a situation you get stuck on the road somewhere, you have to be able to survive and have your kit prepared for that as well with all things you might need and not be able to use your cell phone or anything like that. it's important. i think this is going to be a wake-up call for everyone. prepare your children emotionally for what may come if there's an earthquake. what's the plan we're going to have here. because the safety system that children have with their parents is one of having comfort. if you know something is going to happen and they know where to meet and what to do, they're going to feel more comfortable. on the subject of children big thing in napa.

school is in session. it will not be tomorrow at all. 18,000 school kids in public schools, k-12, school cancelled for napa unified. there's no class. teachers, structural engineers, napa unified school district officials go from school to school to figure out which schools are damaged, which are operation a -- operational. >> no school tomorrow for napa unified. he added tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 in the afternoon he'll make announcement about school on tuesday. so all of the 30 schools, public schools in napa, no class tomorrow. they're going school to school, classroom to classroom to make sure everything is safe. monte francis has been on that part of the story. >> reporter: that's right.

18,000 students we're talking about. that affects a lot of families in the bay area. parents were notified by a phone tree. district officials are also getting the word out by talking to us in the media. we went inside napa high school. the superintendent showed us around. we found offices, classrooms in disarray. a broken sprinkler system causing water to leak on the front desk. beyond that and broken window in a few schools, the damage is not to be too serious when it comes to schools in the district. the superintendent says they have to be sure the schools are structurally safe. engineers will come through all 30 in the district tomorrow to inspect them. if engineers give the all clear, there will likely be school tuesday. a lot of parent a s work, and t district understands that. parents will will have too

figure out what to do with children tomorrow. many parents are dealing with damage at their own homes and probably won't be going to work tomorrow any way. teachers are dealing with damaged homes, but they have to report at work at 10:00 a.m. they'll be assessing damage to their classrooms, helping to clean up and going from there. we won't know until tomorrow afternoon 1:00 p.m. if there will be school on tuesday. that's the latest i have. >> monte did the superintendent tell you if they're planning on bringing crisis counselors in to help the kids deal with the stress of the earthquake? >> reporter: at this point, i didn't hear of plans for a crisis counselor. the normal staff will be there to help kids with issues. i'm not aware of any special plans. >> it's worth monoting, we talk about the 30 public schools and private schools, napa valley

community college are saying classes are open tomorrow, everything normal. presumably no damage there. they got through their protocol? >> reporter: the sonoma university will remain open as well. the campus was inspected and found to have no damage. classes will go on as planned. >> sonoma classes will go on and n napa community college will be open. we're talking about the kids and facilities impacted here. maybe emotional impact. talking 100 homes red tagged. a lot of stunldents that live i those homes are red tagged. now they're going to family member or hotels to seek shelter tonight. we're not sure how long those will be red tagged. imagine at least through tonight and possibly tomorrow and

another day. monte francis gives updates about the schools. rob, we're talking about the monitor here. this early warning detection device that goes into our laptop. it is very small, goes in our laptop. that gets the information out to various agencies, 10, 20, 30 seconds in advance. >> that's right. we've seen that technology, big change from '89. technology there on your desk that translates into the wave forms you see behind me. we have one hooked up to our weather station there in the weather center. if a larger event or seismic waves reach the valley, it would show up on this network. depending on how long it took to arrive here, it could pinpoint the epicenter quickly within seconds and send out an early warning to the rest of the area. if you have a major quake, north of santa rosa, the further that

major quake is, the potentially the longer leave time of warning that could give. waves move at the speed of sound. technology moves at the click of a mouse or two. that technology could potentially give you 10, 20, 30 seconds of warning. that has been successfully deployed in japan and out towards mexico where they have the early warning systems in place. today's event by the way, looks like a 10 second warning based on that epicenter up there towards napa. 6.0 earthquake struck around 3:20 this morning. largest aftershock so far. we've seen a 3.6 that occurred at 5:47 this morning. since then, we've had more than 70 aftershocks. most of them have been smaller than 2.0. for the folks i think in american canyon and napa, no doubt you felt the aftershocks through the day. those quakes probably much too small to be felt further south and away from the locations. last significant one was the 2.2

at 2:38 this afternoon. here's another view of how the energy arrived on the size ma graphs. usually the one closest to the epicenter. once we record when the first initial pulse arrived, when it hit the graph, we can pinpoint the location of where the quake was. the longer it takes to arrive, further from the epicenter. the duration of this quake, it did last a long time. loma prieta 20 to 30 seconds. this very close. most folks felt 20 to 30 seconds. the amplitude wasn't as extreme as the 6.9 in '89. much different than the one we felt today. the local damage was extreme and tied into the bay area geology. we have our north bay, river valley around napa. we have out towards the delta, sediment deposited over time as the fresh water dumps out

towards the bay. and also the santa clara valley too. we have the mud like we see in the northern half of pablo bay. close to that epicenter, close to the airport, dramatic pictures of the control tower windows shattered. older buildings in downtown napa sitting on top of areas showing up in yellow and red. these are locations you have that type of soil which can amplify that shaking effect. notice that with respect to napa. downtown, river front area very nice. river front buildings that did see damage curtesy to geology around napa. same american canyon west of vallejo. those areas did experience stronger shaking based on that soft mud and different types of soil beneath.

bedrock locations higher up in elevation, opposite effect. sometimes that mutes the energy as it comes through. some locations perhaps in the trivalley. in the hill tops may not have seen the same shaking. sonoma, same story you see with napa. pretty intense stakie sonoma, same story you see with napa. pretty intense staki shaking potentially. older buildings in sonoma, cracks possible there even further from the epicenter of the quake. as we go back to '89 in loma prieta, widespread damage around san francisco where quite literally the soil beneath liquified. the water and sand percolated up from parts of former marsh land converted to fill in places people could live in san francisco. that lies beneath the buildings. when you get that shaking

involved, that increases the shaking intensity and obviously kau caused the damage we had in '89. had the this earthquake happened in the central bay or around the hayward falls, you could see the potential to see what we saw in downtown napa spread over a much wider area in the bay area. this is the view of the shaking intensity, bulls eye epicenter south of downtown napa. if we scale this out and show you the difference between today and loma prieta on the right. you can see the difference in the shaking intensify in 6.9 that carries the same magnitude over a much wider area in the santa clara valley and central valley. you would've felt that strong shaking like we had today. difference from epicenter, types of structures involved, masonry reinforced in napa. soil type below unique to the bay area. all our areas have that.

increased risk for stronger shaking because of that. that 6.0 we saw today, ten times larger than the 5.0 we had in the last ten years. that 6.0 can release 32 times the energy of a 5.0 earthquake. a big event for the area. >> we'll continue to check with you throughout the evening. it's been more than 12 hours. 2:30 this morning this earthquake struck. 6.0, the epicenter american canyon couple miles south of napa. we want to continue our coverage for you now. we want to share with you exactly how this started to unfold with some of the voices of those that lived through this 6.0 earthquake. >> it was like a bonfire. i couldn't get anything. we had to watch the house burn down. >> when i felt something, bam. right there. >> we walked out the door and witnessed the roof caving in on our car. >> the terrifying but a lot of

people say this could have been a lot worse. this jolt damage, roofs pulled down sides of historic buildings and buckled roads across napa. we continue our
