turned a daunting reality. this the headline many of us will see and read this morning as we wake up as several communities must now come to terms with losing everything. >> you could hear for explode. you know, the flames were going way up. >> i couldn't do anything about it. we just had to watch the house burn down. >> entire homes burned to the ground, buildings crumbled, now the clean up begins as people whose lives changed in a matter of second start to try to pick up the pieces. good morning to you and thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. best news this morning, the majority of people who were injured did not have to spend the night at the hospital. only 17 people are still getting care this morning. meanwhile, kids in napa are sleeping in, schools are closed of broken windows and scattered books. some are staying home because 33 buildings are deemed too dangerous to go into. they've been red flagged and

condemned. we have coverage of the south napa earthquake, we begin with bob redell, any clean up yet or people assessing what's going on? >> reporter: the latter part, still assessing. even though there's a lot of buildings red flagged, some are so dangerous, so much at risk of collapsing that you're not allowed to get close to the buildings. i'm talking about the buildings here in the immediate downtown area. this area had been taped off. and if you look in the backed as we zoom into the courthouse, in the third round, they have started installing chain link fencing because they don't want people to get close where you can see the top corner that came crumbling down. again 33 buildings downtown red tacked by the stay city of napa, many historical structures made of brick and stone. what's interesting, the city did have a 2009 deadline for the historical buildings downtown to be retrofitted for an earthquake. there were 18 buildings that had to meet that requirement. 12 did, they did get up to code,

they were retrofitted, but there were six that were not. three of those right here on brown street suffered severe damage during yesterday's quake, for whatever reason, the owners never met that 2009 requirement. raising an obvious question for the city's manager. >> could the city have staken enforcement action and why didn't they? >> we are this the process of doing just that. we have given notices. it posed a hazard. we are going through the process to if need to go to court. >> reporter: pacific gas and electric restored 99% of the power outages. the latest numbers, 150 customers can waiting for power. later today, the utility making itself available if you have turned off your bas or had a gas issue yesterday and needs to be

turned back on. they will do a courtesy gas safety check. they'll come over to your place, make sure there's no gas leaking in, help you turn it on and relight the pilot lights. they're asking that you do call them instead of doing yourself. if you lost water at all. the city wants to remind you, either use bottled water for drinking or boil your tap water for a minute. they've also set up two portable water stations here in the downtown area. one on pearl street, that's one block west of main, and at center on linda vista avenue. the water is still safe for bathing and that sort of thing, something you were going ingest, i want you to hold off if you lost water yesterday. reporting live here in napa, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> good advice, thank you, bob. the 6.0 magnitude quake was felt all over the bay area. more than 36,000 people reported feeling the shaking.

scientists tracked it, it shows the level intensity and damage from the quake. the area in the yellow is where the strongest shaking was felt. >> now experts are saying there is a decent chance that another strong quake could be striking within the next seven days, christina loren joins us. we understand the odds of that though are shrinking. >> yeah, dwindling down minute by minute. sam and laura, good morning to you. we're at about a 29% chance right now for a 56.0 -- 5.0 or greater. as far as aftershocks, they're still coming in. and the last significant one was 1.8 at 127 this morning. we're talking about 27 hours after that initial quake. so the strongest aftershock happened at 5:47 yesterday morning, that was a 3.6, nothing bigger than that. but this is what we are talking about when it comes to that aftershock timeline. 29% chance of a 5.0 or greater in the next seven days. it and as we continue on in time, that chance will continue to decrease and we're expected to see the aftershocks decrease

and in frequency and intensity. that's good news. it's always one of the those times. you want to make sure off plan in place. not just a short time plan. a long term earthquake preparedness plan. here's some things you can do. put child proof latches on cabinets to keep them closed. that's a good security system. also use adhesive putty to keep valuable china in place. here's the big one, if you don't have earthquake insurance, get yourself an automatic gas shut off valve. that is very important. we heard from all the experts yesterday that was the number one recommendation for homeowners here in the bay area. afterall, it's earthquake country. now coming up, we're going to take a look at beautiful bay area weather forecast, it's going to be nice this week. that's coming up in moments. definitely, not keeping our eyes for one minute off the chance of the strong aftershocks. we're going to keep you updated, back to you now sam and laura. >> thanks so much. and let's move along and turn things over to "today in

the bay's" mary-ann. you just spoke with a spokesperson from the hospital updating us on the conditions, where do things stand right now? >> i did, yes, i did, sam. >> reporter: the spokesperson tells me that 17 people remain hospital highsed -- hospitalized here. one in critical condition still. a total of 318 people were treated. they came in after the quake hit. also a 13-year-old boy was air lifted to uc davis medical center with critical injuries after a chimney collapsed. he is improving and listed in serious condition. most people suffered cuts and bruises from falling objecting. >> the most common thing we saw were cut feet. people walking on broke nl kwlasz -- broken glass. folks had furniture came down on them. mirror came off the wall, the

one gentleman had a gash on his head. it was an entertainment center. dressers came down on people, those were the most common things we saw, if it wasn't they were bleeding from the feet. >> reporter: the person who is in critical condition at queen of the valley medical center had a heart problem. so you can see that things are definitely improving here, there is no longer a triage tent in the parking lot like yesterday. reporting live in napa, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, mary-ann. most students in napa may get to sleep. long they are morning. all possible schools and -- public schools and private schools are closed. most of the schools not damaged, but they were in disarray with books and papers, computers, all over the floor. bloken sprinkler system caused water to leak on to the front steps of the district offices as well. other schools had broerken windows. -- broken windows, all high schools are closed today, as for

private schools, justin sienna high school and st. john's lutheran school. also not having class today. how about some good news now, some gas lines could have been damaged, but it's not starting for leaking for hours or days. that's why pg&e wants to remind everybody to speak up if they smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise. if you are inside, open up windows and get out immediately. if you can, turn off the gas. call pg&e. the number is on the bottom of your screen, 1-800-743-5002. also damaged a number of roads causing trouble for drivers. look at the gaps, mike inl eye keep -- inouye keeping an eye on it. some gaps were huge. >>. you showed it in the one of the videos. huge separation between the roadway on one side to the other. look, they were mashing down things. look at difference in the lines. this is supposed to be one set of double yellow license, but

they have shifted over. they had to actually basically cut away some of the pavement, and then rebuild it on the other side so there was of a level drive in this particular spot for 121. patches have gone on around the bay area. freeways are open, as we look at the naps, we're talking about a smooth flow of traffic this morning on the chp jurisdiction. 1211, highway 12, they had all damage yesterday, but the freeway, all lanes are open, but those are temporary fixes which marines they'll go in later after they assess the situation and determine what they need to do as far as the final fix over there. chp would not let you drive if it wasn't safe. >> here's highway 29. those are your typical commute routes and they are shaping up for a normal pattern up in the north bay. it's just downtown napa where you need to avoid because of the recovery work going on there for the buildings and the bricks there that continue to fall in even vallejo. a crash west 80 at central still has traffic slowing, approaching

drinking or boil your tap water for one minute. they've also set up two portable water stations. one on pearl street. one block west of main. the other at the flores center on linda vista. again this is if you are planning on drinking the water. if you're bathing or doing washing the water should be fine. reporting live here in downtown napa, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> just a regrouping day, thank you, bob. >> rebuilding too soon. now let's turn things over to marion. you have an update on some of the people that were hurt in the quake. >> reporter: i do laura, i just talked to the hospital spokesperson. right now there is no one in the emergency room which is quite different than yesterday. 208 people came here. now morning, 17 le main hospitalized, one of them in critical condition. they all started pouring in here right after the quake hit. also a 13-year-old boy was taken to uc davis medical center yesterday with critical injuries

after chimney collapsed and pieces of a fireplace hit him. he is improving this morning and is now listed in serious condition. most people suffered cuts and bruises from falling objects. >> i just hit my head on the shelf i have next to my bed. that's where i cut my forehead open and my eye, i bumped my knee too. few bruises. >> when i fell, something went bam, hit me right in the head right there. it was scary. it was about the scariest thing i ever been through. >> reporter: the person who is in critical condition at queen of the valley medical center had a heart problem. and on a positive note this morning. a little boy was born here seconds before the quake hit. when the room started shaking, his dad jumped up on the bed to protect him from that shaking equipment that was surrounding him. and the staff here also helped

out to protect the little boy. his name is ish mel sanchez. he weighs seven pounds, ten ounces, and you can bet when he grows up, he is going to have a very, fascinating story about the day he was born. reporting live in napa, "today in the bay." >> he may not remember it, but his parents certainly will, thanks a lot. 6:50 right now. most students will get to sleep in in napa this morning. public and private schools are closed. most of the schools were not damaged, but they were certainly in disarray with books and papers all over the floor. broken sprinkle r. all public elementary and high schools in the napa valley school districting are closed today as for private schools, justin sienna high school and st. john's lutheran school are

not holding class today. now a chaotic last 24 hours, it would be nice to reestablish normalcy with kids going back to school throughout the bay area, that's a good thing, christina. >> the weather will be standard. we'll get spoiled with more beautiful weather. you know what, we're learning quite a bit. i want to start with that. and bring you a little bit of information about this fault. noul it's a strike slip fault. and that means the plates move laterally. you may not know this, we don't use a richter scale anymore, now we use what's called the moment scale. basically to get that number. you take the distance the fault is moved multiplied by the force to move it. 6.0 magnitude in napa was the equivalent of detonating one million tons of tnt. that just shows you how powerful it is when the earth moves like that. as we head throughout the daze today, hopefully all we're going

to see is the wind moving around a little bit. it's a nice westerly flow, and that's going to keep your temperatures really, really nice as we finish off the month of august. now they are going to climb a little bit as we get into wednesday, thursday, and friday. overall, not too bad. 80 degrees in the south bay today. peninsula, 77 degrees for you. getting into the end of the week, you'll notice that warming trend up to 87 degrees by wednesday. warmest day of the week looks like thursday. friday, saturday, sunday, tropical moisture coming to the bay area might squeeze out a few showers. best chance over the weekend. don't cancel the holiday plans. things will clear now the time for labor day. let's look at drive, good morning, mike. >> good morning, yeah, this is unrelated i think because of that. we're looking at 680 where there was a stalled big rig. there was a crash also there too. look at the map in the extent from here all the past 84 and

toward 580 things are crawling. all lanes are cleared now, there's the recovery, 84 as well. folks are slowing down to decide between 48 through livermore. i say take 84 because that should get you into the earlier clearing. you'll have the slowing through pleasanton as well. over here, that may cause a shift or folks heading towards the castro valley area and down 880. unlikely, but possible. potential for the tri-valley heading over towards the east bay. meanwhile, in the south bay, northbound 101 shows its traditional pattern for a slower drive. look look with the camera. moving slowly here. the volume of traffic, another live shot through the north bay. the reason i was talking about the south bay, san jose state and west valley both getting into session as well. north bay, picks up the volume here, little fender bender reported, moved over to the shoulder just before you get there. now back over to you. >> thanks so much, mike.

it is 6:53, 24 hours after the quake and people are still bracing for more aftershocks and the damage they could bring. >> in vallejo, all eyes on georgia street where a number of brick buildings could still crumble. kris sanchez joins us live with that part of the story. and kris, lots of concern this morning. >> reporter: yes. in fact a whole block of georgia street is blocked off with caution tape. and behind us we found a sound that says the farmer's market, doesn't say anything about earthquakes. the building behind it is one that could come down with a sizable aftershock. the damage is on the inside where the brick fell from the roof through three stories below. and the folks who live there were evacuated. they had to spend the night somewhere else. here's video from inside a grocery store which was a disaster. in all, more than 40 buildings sustained damage here in the downtown area and on mary island

totaling $5 million. a tally that is expected to grow. now even when the red tags are cleared. they'll be feeling the quake for a while and not because of the aftershocks. >> the noise was different from earthquakes i've experienced before. i thought a jet or something had hit the hillside. i mean, it was total terror. >> reporter: to american canyon, video of the moment the earthquake hit. you see the store shelves rocking, smashing bottles on to the ground. the mayor of american canyon says overall the city, the damage to his city is minimal, water, sewer lines, they're in tact. water service is back to normal. now here we are, we see folks are starting to arrive. they're trying to decide where they're going to start. assessing the damage inside the buildings here in vallejo, again they are red tagged and a block will remain cordon off for the future. >> be safe, thanks kris. today does mark the first

day back to classes for many college students throughout the south bay. >> while they're miles away from the damage in napa, it has many wondering how prepared schools are. derek shore is joining us live. >> you can see a number of students have come on to campus here today. this is the first day of classes here at sjfc. it's not the only school starting class today. there is also class starting over at west valley mission community college district in saratoga. now like most schools in the bay area, they are relying on technology to get to students and staff and let them know about emergencies like earthquakes. sjsu has something called alert sjsu which will send alerts to cell phones to e-mails to let folks know of an emergency on campus. they also have a tip sheet on their website telling students what to doed in an earthquake. including ducking for cover, not

running outside during the shaking. but those alerts would likely come after an earthquake, dhast because the state's early alert system for earthquakes are still being implemented. researchers at uc berkeley say the system worked yesterday giving a ten second alert before the napa quake. but to roll out the system statewide, it would cost about $80 million. $80 million that the state has not allocated yet. gavin newsom says that should happen. >> we got to fund it. i mean we had a ten second warning here. we can get up to 60 seconds, most of the experts believe. they have perfected this technology you've seen it in taiwan, even in china and japan. why we're not funding it is beyond me. >> i think it's necessary, it's really scary to hear that somewhere so close as napa had such a like harsh effect. and i hope the earthquake alert system follows through and we

feel safer. >> reporter: that student katrina we spoke to this morning felt the shaking at her nearby parent very close to campus. of course everyone here in the san jose area did feel the shaking not nearly as bad as the napa area and american canyon. the warning and reminder for students and staff on all campuses across the bay area is to have your contact information updated regularly. say your cell phone number changes or e-mail, make sure you have that on file so they can get in touch with you. live on the campus this morning, i'm derek shore, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, derek. we have been getting updates on the earthquake all morning long. stay with us as we'll have live reports throughout the morning. when we're not on the air, visit our website any time. it's updated around the clock with the very latest information, nbcbayarea.com. and the time is now 6:58, scott mcgrew joining us with the top headlines, something conc n

concerning in virginia. >> it's a training base just south of richmond there. they're tweeting out this. it say there's an active shooter incident at that army base. here you see the tweet ft. lee, the base has a lot of training on it and it's in prince george county south of richmond. that's about all we know generally at this point. other top stories this morning, let's talk about this one. it is the funeral of michael brown. he is the 18-year-old of course who was shot by police officer in suburban, ferguson. brown's father asked far day of peace so that the family can bury michael today. the world will also say good-bye once again to robin williams. tonight's emmy awards will have a special tribute from long time friend billy crystal, that starts at 5 this can evening. watch that right here on nbc bay area. and the fell lal accused of burning down the old kntv studios will be back in court. he is accused of starting that

fire. there's the fire just tremendous. he has pleaded not guilty. laura, as many as 40 people were living in our old studio probably -- >> yeah, probably. there wasn't a lot of room under there. hay un tirador en la fuerza ar a worst earthquake in years. the quake injuring more than 200 people. hunldss of buildings damaged, some off the verge of collapsing. live in napa. threat in the sky after forcing an american airlines plane to make an emergency land white gold a top threat at a video executive on that flight. why was he being targeted?
