the violent shaking cracked dozens of tanks and barrels and wine bottles sending hundreds of gallons of top vintage quality wine down the drain. >> it's a scary time because of the loss of inventory, and, you know, it takes a lot of time and effort to make wine. you don't turn it around overnight. >> reporter: the exact cost of damage to napa is unclear, but many wineries estimate they've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. in spite of all the damage here, the consensus amongst the people in this tight knit community, they're just very grateful things weren't worse. >> a silver lining there. alison harmelin in napa. thank you. and about 230 miles north of napa, a wildfire is threatening hundreds of homes. firefighters are battling a fire near weaverville, which is near the border of oregon. 150 homes were evacuated sunday. about 520 homes and businesses are in danger. one square mile has burned. high winds caused it to spread quickly.
