>> that's what scientists at uc berkeley heard at 3:20 yesterday morning. in napa people were already shaking. it took time for the shock waves to be felt in berkeley where the early warn earthquake sensors are located. i received a notice five seconds before it started. peggy is a agree owe physicist. she said it would cost over $80 million to make the system available to the public. the system only offers seconds of warnings. it would be enough for californians to get a warning by text message or just enough time for kids to hide around desk. >> one could raise situational awareness. one could turn on again raters at hospital when the power fails, which it did in napa, the people who are on vital support systems don't lose the power that are driving the support systems. >> last year governor jerry brown signed a law requiring an investment into the early warning system.

the program has only seen about $10 million. senator pa diaw who authored the early warning bill thinks more resources are needed. >> the ability to save lives, reduce injuries, and minimize damages associated with the bigger earthquakes is possible. the technology exists and we should deploy it sooner rather than later. >> reporter: the senator said they're looking for ways to find the potentially federal dollars and maybe even private investment. reporting live in san francisco, michelle roberts, nbc bay area news. thank you. senator diane feinstein among those who believes it's time for the early warning system is now. in a statement released this afternoon she said in part i believe an integrated earthquake early warning system is essential to save lives and property. an earthquake early warning system would provide crucial time to carry out life saving actions. the city of napa is working quickly tonight to get a clear understanding of the damage from the earthquake. the head of the city's community

development department said before napa can get aid it needs to have at least have a preliminary estimate of the damages. mark matthews is in napa where crews are trying to canvas the town before tomorrow. there have been rumbles maybe we're talking about a billion dollars even. >> reporter: yeah. or more. at this point, they really don't know. the usgs did say it could be around as high as a billion might be higher than that. as you can see, some of the buildings here pretty badly damaged while other buildings relatively unscathed. sorting them out by tonight is the goal. the city has 30 two-men teams dividing up the city of napa into quadrants. each team assigned to a damage survey and do it quickly. >> we're going it as quickly. we're doing an assessment and moving on to the next property. what we need to do our objective is have every neighborhood canvassed. >> reporter: the inspectors i

talked with today didn't stop to talk. they know before the city can ask for federal aid, they have to report on how much to ask for. federal aid is the hope of everyone whose building has been retag the. 49 have been red tagged. nobody can occupy them until they are inspected and cleared by a structure engineer. greg keller and his wife own a red-tagged office building. it was supposed to be a significant part of their retirement income. >> it might be bigger mountain than i thought to climb. the front looks good, it's mainly a lot in the back. there's a lot of structure damage. thank god it's all facade. >> i'm hoping somebody steps in. fema, somebody steps in and we can get a loan. >> the city is confident that it can get survey done by tonight or tomorrow. they reported all but a handful of people in napa have the power restored. there's roughly 600 properties in the city without water.

including 285 residents of mobile home park the city said water will be on by midweek. the fire department said the fire hydrants is unaffected by the water outage. the big question tonight where will the money come from to fix what has been damaged and for the moment, that is a question that nobody can answer with any certainty. we will be back at 5:00. they've got a live press conference from napa. we'll have it for you. reporting live from napa nbc bay area news. thank you. as mark mentioned, a lot of earthquake damage is visible. some is underground like those 90 leaks in the area's water lines. luckily it is smaller distribution lines that are affected not the water main. ten crews at work. some borrowed from neighboring cities. as mark mentioned there's an estimate 500 to 600 without

water. higher density housing like apartment complexes will get priority. and looking for gas leaks pge crews wearing special devices went sniffing for gas leaks. the most significant leak fixed immediately. the crews said smaller leaks will be repaired this week. right now less than a dozen customers are without power. way down from the 70,000 without power yesterday. governor brown declared a state of emergency shortly after the earthquake. so what exactly does the declaration mean? essentially it frees up state and federal fund for victims of the quake. it's been awhile since we've been needing the help. it was the biggest earthquake in the bay area since 1989. one of the stark images of this, the air traffic controller tower at the napa county airport. the shaking blew out most of the tower's windows. airport leaders say it doesn't appear there are any structure damage here. according to the faa, could take

several weeks to get new windows manufactured and installed. the airport now is working on a temporary tower and that is sup and running or at least it should be in the next 48 hours. the sarpt running like it does overnight. pilots get takeoff and landing clearance from the oakland center. one of the seriously hurt victims in the napa earthquake is recovering but slowly. a falling chimney left 13-year-old nicholas dillon with a broken pelvis. it was a fireplace inside the home. one of the boy's friends is giving us a better understanding of exactly what happened and why. he feels so sad for his friend. we are at the dillon home to explain. the boys were having a sleep over, jody. >> reporter: they were. it was scary. this is where it happened. i'm standing inside the dillon family living room where nicholas and his best friend were having a sleep over. nicholas was sleeping on the floor. his buddy was sleeping here on the coach when the earthquake

hit and the fireplace, the bricks from the fireplace came falling downright on top of nicholas. now take a look at the aftermath. literally a wall of bricks crashed down on to nicholas who was asleep on a mattress on the floor. now fortunately the 14-year-old was able to turn himself around when he felt the first jolt of the earthquake and start corralling toward the door. the bricks didn't hit his head they landed on his back breaking his pelvis. his best friend escaped injury but he was traumatized by what happened tonight. he is sharing his story. he started yelling my name then i yelled his and i saw the bricks coming down at him. i was terrified for him.

>> so, so scary. nicholas underwent a 10-hour surgery last night. his grandmother tells me he's in stable condition. it's going to take some time before he's able to put weight on his legs. we're told he's going to walk again. we're back here live. you're getting another look at the fireplace. the entire wall of bricks came down. most really in a solid chunk right on to nicholas. again, he's going to be okay. he's being treated at the hospital at uc davis in sacramento. reporting live in napa, jody hernandez. we wish him well. thank you, jody. if you want to look at stories, pictures, and surveillance go to our website. it's on our front page. nbcbayarea.com. coming up what scientists have figured up about the napa

quake. also, it's tv's biggest night. emmys minutes away. you're looking a the live picture of the red carpet. the biggest and the brightest stars walk down. and the emmys will remember robin williams. we'll tell you who will lead that tribute. and good afternoon, i'm meteorologist. after the 6.0 quake we're continuing to track the aftershocks the most recent at 3:11. it was a 2.1. we'll have details on the probabilities in a few minutes. plus our forecast and a lot of blue skies this afternoon.

the stars out early in the stylist gowns. looking a the live picture for the 66th prime time. nice shoes! the emmy awards happening in downtown l.a. a nice shrinky black dress the

day to be there. >> i'm sure you own about four pairs of those shoes. >> we're counting down. it starts in about just over an hour, actually. it will include a special tribute to robin williams. no way! >> so fun. the rainbow colors are classic. robin williams became a star on tv "mork & mindy." billy crystal will lead the tribute. you can bet it will be emotional funny. as for the other part of the awards, the emmy for best drama series appears to be an epic battle between game of tloenz and breaking bad. by the way, seth meyers will be the host. >> it will be a thrill to walk on stage. it's a through the looking glass moment. we'll be watching you shortly. should be a memorable evening. >> our coverage of the emmys

beginning right after this special. there will be a one-hour edition of nbc bay area news at 4:00 and the first look live at the red carpet, and at 4:30 the 66th prime time emmy red special and the actual show begins at 5:00. and we'll reair it at 8:00 and followed by the news at 11:00. we'll be back in a moment.

not only could we see and feel it but we could hear it. this was surveillance video. this was a baby whose crib is rattling. it was sent to us by a viewer in san francisco. athe many questions today, what caused this earthquake. we have some answers there the experts. nbc business reporter joins us from the usgs headquarters. it's a crucial time for the usgs analyzing the data and giving answers here. >> yeah. you're right.

that's one of the reasons scientists from here at the u.s. agree logical society were among the first on the ground yesterday. they wanted to figure out where the, was centered but also find out what happened kind of an earthquake it was. we now have a better idea of what kind of earthquake this was thanks to research done sunday by the u.s. gee logical survey which photographed and mapd the area. >> this was sort of in some ways a well-behaved earthquake. >>well, behaved when it comes to knocking things off shelves and buildings, but what the usgs calls a consistent quake that scientifically makes sense. >> it's this movement, the slip that releases energy, stress in the rocks and that -- those are the ways that are the shaking that produce the damage. >> damage that may have been increased by soft ground near

the epicenter. >> and these actually can amplify shaking that can increase in the length of shaking for a given earthquake. >> reporter: it started nearly seven miles under ground, but brought lots of damage to the surface. and the scientists say they are not close to being done. usgs say they will spend most of at least this week near the epicenter of the quake. reporting live tonight. >> the shaking not close to being done. we are track the aftershocks. >> in this hour, you can see the latest aftershock coming in here at 3:11 it was a magnitude 2.1. you may have felt it there. as we've been hearing from the usgs the new probabilities have been updated this hour. we'll likely see the aftershocks continue for the next five to seven days. we have seen the probability of

maybe seeing a 5.0 or higher go down. right now it is at 16%. according to the usgs they're pretty much confident that 6.0 was the largest one. aftershocks range 3.0 to 5.0. we may see about 2 to 15 of those as we head throughout the next seven days. we'll take you to the forecast back here across the bay area and for a lot of east bay and south bay, we did manage to get on quite a bit of sunshine throughout the afternoon. once we hit about 2:00 you can see blue sky across the south bay. currently 77. the peninsula getting fog at the coastal mountain range and the east shore 74 right now. blue sky and you can see in the trivalley not extremely hot today. averaging 75 at the current moment. take you to the microclimate forecast throughout our tuesday. what you'll find here plenty of sunshine here expected for the south bay. temperatures go up about 3 to 5 degrees, too for the south bay. 83 for the forecasted high. saratoga a little bit hotter. a little bit of wave from the ocean breeze is cut off.

it will help temperatures to warm up to 87. san francisco pretty much staying in the 60s. if you head there tomorrow it's going the classic august days where 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 we get the sunout. temperatures will be warmest with 69. napa sunny skies and 85. so as people continue to clean up, there won't be any inclement for you. for the trivalley temperatures heating up 89 in pleasantton and 88 in livermore. never too early to look ahead for the weekend. for the saturday sunday temperatures near average in the south bay m80 expected. we'll have the latest for you throughout the evening. >> okay very good. thank you. we'll see you again at 11:00. it is taking a new turn. that attack on a substation it took 19 minutes and more than 100 rounds from a high powered rifle. some believe last year's attack on the met substation in south san jose was the work of

terrorists. tonight though there's conflict inside the sheriff's department. the lead agency was responding to it. chief investigator has more for us. >> for the first time, first responders are speaking out about decisions made in the hours following the attack on the met substation. they accuse command staff of down playing the significance of the attack failing to quickly respond with sufficient personnel and sending a misleading letter to a u.s. congresswoman. about the details of the response. >> did you mislead the congresswoman with this letter? >> no. it's so disenginous. the sergeant on scene was frustrated. that the support. the support there. >> following the emmy awards we take you inside the response to

the substation. first responders tell you what went wrong and why. the investigative unit with the exclusive report that's tonight at 11:00 in the news room. thank you. if you have a ftip for tony give us a call. send us an e-mail. we're following breaking news now. our nbc chopper is overhead. this is on california street and snow sonoma boulevard. this is the first baptist church on california street and sonmoa boulevard. what we understand the information we are receiving is the church based on yesterday's earthquake there's parts of the church that might be collapsing. and so what they're doing is clearing out the area and they have shut down highway 29 there. highway 29 has been shut down in

vallejo. the church might be collapsing still from the aftermath from the earthquake yesterday. this is on california street and sonoma boulevard. we'll be right back. stay with us.

breaking news right now. we want to show you the church live over right now over the church in vallejo. highway 29 is now shut down because of this. the church was damaged during the earthquake and right now they say that the church, at least part, is in imminent danger of collapsing. this is the first baptist church at corner of california and sonoma. they offer masses here in english, spanish, cantonese. it serves as a gathering place. so if we can only see a little closer we might be getting a better angle of what part was damaged. firefighters are saying the

church is in imminent danger of collapsing. they want to make sure there is no one around it. when it goes down, it could be any moment. at this point it's a dangerous situation. >> this is near the vallejo ferry terminal. it's similar to what we saw yesterday in downtown napa. there was another church the united methodist church that had significant damage. there were parts of the church literally falling on the road. we did it exactly 24 hours ago. they cleared out the church near napa. the first bap dis church we have nbc right there in vallejo a few blocks away from the church. what do the streets look like there? >> reporter: right now, you can see this over my shoulder you see a fire truck and police officers walking the way there on california and sonoma. they don't want traffic to be passing by or any foot traffic to be passing by in case the church does collapse.

we will continue to keep an eye on that for you. meanwhile, i want to turn your attention to meter island. there are at lot of homes out there historic homes and people don't want to lose them. so people know there's historical value to ha that's. when you drive down captain's row and see yellow tape, you see many lost their brick chimney, at the very least. their yellow tag for now until an engineer can assess the structures. people don't live in them for now. some are used for officer spaces others for lease waiting for a business ten. heartbreaking is the damage to saint peter's chapel. i'm told it's the oldest navy chapel in the country. the organ suffered severe damage. pipes fell. it cannot be played in the state. people hope it can be saved. >> unfortunately, key boards have replaced organs in churches

and there's nothing like the sound of a pipe organ. >> there is a wedding scheduled at saint peter's in two weeks. everyone is hoping that the organ can get repaired by then. back live over at the intersection of sonoma and california, again, police and firefighters have that intersection shut down because a church is on the search of collapsing. and hopefully by keeping away the foot traffic and the vehicle traffic, that no one will be hurt. that's the latest in vallejo. >> thank you. yesterday we were talking about some of the damage suffered downtown. most specifically georgia street which has had huge banners of yellow tape to keep people from going on the street. there's some facade on georgia street in downtown that are in danger of collapsing. now here tonight we're hearing that this church, the first baptist church at the corner of california and sonoma may be in

danger of collapsing. again, this is the people who go to the church say this is their favorite place of warshop. they offer masses in english, spanish, and cantonese. we'll watch it for the next several hours until we more details. we'll give it to you on-air and online. let's bring in our chief meteorologist. you were in downtown napa yesterday. >> the picture behind me. i did take myself. we were in the brown's valley neighborhood of napa. it was surreal to see the roads in many places actually just forced up against each other. this was a crack but as we zoom out, what you'll be able to see is it forced the asphalt up in two different directions. check it out as it went across the street here in some cases. this particular crack i took a picture of stretched on for three or four blocks cutting right directly through some homes in some cases. of course, the damage we have

seen wine bolts on the floor here. a lot of loss of product and revenue. and complete wine storages that are demolished at this point. stores continue to clean up as a lot of businesses remain closed. but the classic damage we saw in napa of these historic old buildings is what you usually see with a 6.0 quake. when we get an earthquake they tell you to head to the center of the house and the sturyest area. the facade usually start to fall away and you get debris falling on cars like. yer we're under the threat of aftershocks for the next five days. drop, cover, and hold. >> get your popcorn out. it's almost time to celebrate. you have "madmen" on the red carpet. time for the 66th prime time emmy awards. the stars are guessy up. they have the champagne ready. >> the women have great shoes! >> enjoy our emmys coverage.
