( marty ) the napa earthquake of 2014 was the strongest one to hit the bay area since loma prieta in 1989. now scientists are
7:32 am
digging deep into the ground to try and find the answer as to when the next big one will hit. since 2014 the u-s-g-s has been working on a more detailed map of fault lines in napa county. it's all to help better understand where, when and how often earthquakes will strike. kron4's charles clifford and quadcopter four joined the u-s-g-s to see firsthand the work thats underway. deep in the heart napa wine country, the us geological survey has been digging trenches. 4 feet wide, 16-20 feet deep and a hundred feet or more long. this is an aerial view of one of the trenches taken from quadcopter4. ladderdown in the trench a small team of geologists has been searching for evidence of an earthquake fault line. specifically, the napa fault.sotbelle philibosian says which is a relatively minor fault part of the san andreas fault system. it was known prior to the earthquake but was not really studied at all.usgs geologist belle philibosian is leading this effort. the earthquake she's referring to was the south napa quake, which struck on the southern end of napa
7:33 am
fault on august 24th 2014.that 6.0 quake caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across napa county. one person died and hundreds were injured. the quake was also a wakeup call for the usgs.sot belle philibosian says we've learned that we really shouldn't be ignoring these minor faults. they may have quakes every hundred or every thousand years but when they do have quakes we would like to know how often they rupture. prior to the quake, the u-s-g- s had only mapped about 22 miles of the west napa fault . . seen here in yellow. . . running from san pablo bay to st helena. the trenches they've dug sit just north of st. helena, where geologists suspect the fault continues charles clifford says now, you might be wondering why the usgs chose to dig in this spot. well, the answer starts with this round river rock which was found on top of a hill.eons ago, the napa river left round cobbles all over the napa valley. at some point, an earthquake or series of quakes lift the ground up and created hills in this
7:34 am
otherwise flat valley. the usgs's trench cut into one of those hills.sotbelle philibosian says in the hopes of finding a fault.down in the trench, belle and her team are looking through layers of ancient sediment for evidence of the fault. normal sediment layers are horizontal and flat, whenever the sediment curves or lifts up, that indicates vertical movement of the earth. . a sign of past earthquake activity. natswhen the team is done in the trenches, they will analyze their findings. the goal is twofold. first, make a better map of the west napa fault and then try to predict, based on previous quakes, when the next big earthquake will hit.sot belle philibosian says to be able to determine when the last earthquake hit. or when the last several earthquakes occurred and that gives us an idea of how often earthquakes occur. knowing how long it's been since the last one, allows us to forecast when the next one will occur.

excerpts of her new book published by politico donna brazile alleges that hillary clinton's primary campaign signed with the democratic national committee that gave her control over who the party hired and how they spent money, even before winning the nomination."if the fight had been fair" - she writes - "one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. this was not a criminal act, but as i saw it, it compromised the party's integrity." a former clinton campaign official says clinton's priority was to raise money for the party. adrienne elrod/former director of strategic communications, clinton campaign: "the party was in shambles, it needed to be rebuilt. secretary clinton raised a lot of money to make sure that happened and the money that she raised would go on to help whomever the nominee was for president." the claim has reopened a deep rift in the democratic party. nats of jake tapper/cnn: "senator, do you believe with the notion that it was rigged?" nats of sen. elizabeth warren: "yes." president trump seized on that comment by liberal senator

( marty ) the napa earthquake of 2014 was the strongest one to hit the bay area since loma prieta in 1989. now scientists are digging deep into the ground to try and find the answer as to when the next big one will hit. since 2014 the u-s-g-s has been working on a more detailed map of fault lines in napa county. it's all to help better understand where, when and how often earthquakes will strike. kron4's charles clifford and

quadcopter four joined the u-s-g-s to see firsthand the work thats underway. deep in the heart napa wine country, the us geological survey has been digging trenches. 4 feet wide, 16-20 feet deep and a hundred feet or more long. this is an aerial view of one of the trenches taken from quadcopter4. ladderdown in the trench a small team of geologists has been searching for evidence of an earthquake fault line. specifically, the napa fault.sotbelle philibosian says which is a relatively minor fault part of the san andreas fault system. it was known prior to the earthquake but was not really studied at all.usgs geologist belle philibosian is leading this effort. the earthquake she's referring to was the south napa quake, which struck on the southern end of napa fault on august 24th 2014.that 6.0 quake caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across napa county. one person died and hundreds were injured. the quake was also a wakeup call for the usgs.sot
8:35 am
belle philibosian says we've learned that we really shouldn't be ignoring these minor faults. they may have quakes every hundred or every thousand years but when they do have quakes we would like to know how often they rupture. prior to the quake, the u-s-g- s had only mapped about 22 miles of the west napa fault . . seen here in yellow. . . running from san pablo bay to st helena. the trenches they've dug sit just north of st. helena, where geologists suspect the fault continues charles clifford says now, you might be wondering why the usgs chose to dig in this spot. well, the answer starts with this round river rock which was found on top of a hill.eons ago, the napa river left round cobbles all over the napa valley. at some point, an earthquake or series of quakes lift the ground up and created hills in this otherwise flat valley. the usgs's trench cut into one of those hills.sotbelle philibosian says in the hopes
8:36 am
of finding a fault.down in the trench, belle and her team are looking through layers of ancient sediment for evidence of the fault. normal sediment layers are horizontal and flat, whenever the sediment curves or lifts up, that indicates vertical movement of the earth. . a sign of past earthquake activity. natswhen the team is done in the trenches, they will analyze their findings. the goal is twofold. first, make a better map of the west napa fault and then try to predict, based on previous quakes, when the next big earthquake will hit.sot belle philibosian says to be able to determine when the last earthquake hit. or when the last several earthquakes occurred and that gives us an idea of how often earthquakes occur. knowing how long it's been since the last one, allows us to forecast when the next one will occur.

( marty ) this morning... we are tracking the bombshell allegations made by the former democratic national committee chairwoman. among them, donna brazile writes in her upcoming book that she had questions about the power hillary clinton's campaign had over the d-n-c.. brianna keilar reports on president trumps reaction to these claims about the 2016 campaign explosive charges coming from
8:49 am
the former acting head of the democratic national committee have president trump smelling blood.president trump: "you ought to look at hillary clinton and you ought to look at the new book that was just put out by donna brazile where she basically bought the dnc and she stole the election from bernie so that's what you ought to take a look at."in excerpts of her new book published by politico donna brazile alleges that hillary clinton's primary campaign signed with the democratic national committee that gave her control over who the party hired and how they spent money, even before winning the nomination."if the fight had been fair" - she writes - "one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. this was not a criminal act, but as i saw it, it compromised the party's integrity." a former clinton campaign official says clinton's priority was to raise money for the party. adrienne elrod/former director of strategic communications, clinton campaign: "the party
8:50 am
was in shambles, it needed to be rebuilt. secretary clinton raised a lot of money to make sure that happened and the money that she raised would go on to help whomever the nominee was for president." the claim has reopened a deep rift in the democratic party. nats of jake tapper/cnn: "senator, do you believe with the notion that it was rigged?" nats of sen. elizabeth warren: "yes." president trump seized on that comment by liberal senator elizabeth warren -- who trump calls by a racist term in reference to her claimed native american heritage. "pocahontas just stated that the democrats, lead by the legendary crooked hillary clinton, rigged the primaries! lets go fbi & justice dept," he tweeted... "urging "bernie sanders supporters have every right to be apoplectic." brazile fired back against trump saying "today's lesson being quoted by donald trump means being misquoted by donald trump. stop trolling me. hash tag never said hillary rigged election."but brazile new revelations certainly feed into this long held claim trump has made about the primary system. this was trump two weeks before election day ... as even from accounts from within his campaign, he was expecting to lose to clinton.president trump: "it's rigged, its
8:51 am
broken, its corrupt. they want me to take that back. let me tell you folks, its a rigged system." ( marty ) and if that doesn't raise any eyebrows brazile considered replacing clinton as the party's presidential nominee... with former vice president, joe biden. according to the washington post brazile revelaed the information in an upcoming memoir set to be released on tuesday. the former party leader was seriously thinking of making the change after she fainted during a nine-eleven memorial service in new york city and admitted she was suffering from pneumonia.

trenches. 4 feet wide, 16-20 feet deep and a hundred feet or more long. this is an aerial view of one of the trenches taken from quadcopter4. ladderdown in the trench a small team of geologists has been searching for evidence of an earthquake fault line. specifically, the napa fault.sotbelle philibosian says which is a relatively minor fault part of the san andreas fault system. it was known prior to the earthquake but was not really studied at all.usgs geologist belle philibosian is leading this effort. the earthquake she's referring to was the south napa quake, which struck on the southern end of napa fault on august 24th 2014.that 6.0 quake caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across napa county. one person died and hundreds were injured. the quake was also a wakeup call for the usgs.sot belle philibosian says we've learned that we really shouldn't be ignoring these minor faults. they may have quakes every hundred or every

thousand years but when they do have quakes we would like to know how often they rupture. prior to the quake, the u-s-g- s had only mapped about 22 miles of the west napa fault . . seen here in yellow. . . running from san pablo bay to st helena. the trenches they've dug sit just north of st. helena, where geologists suspect the fault continues charles clifford says now, you might be wondering why the usgs chose to dig in this spot. well, the answer starts with this round river rock which was found on top of a hill.eons ago, the napa river left round cobbles all over the napa valley. at some point, an earthquake or series of quakes lift the ground up and created hills in this otherwise flat valley. the usgs's trench cut into one of those hills.sotbelle philibosian says in the hopes of finding a fault.down in the trench, belle and her team are looking through layers of ancient sediment for evidence of the fault. normal sediment layers are horizontal and flat, whenever the sediment curves or lifts up, that indicates vertical movement of the earth. . a sign of past earthquake activity. natswhen the team is done in the trenches, they will analyze their findings. the goal is twofold. first, make a better map of the west napa fault and then try to predict, based on previous quakes, when the next big earthquake will hit.sot belle philibosian says to be

able to determine when the last earthquake hit. or when the last several earthquakes occurred and that gives us an idea of how often earthquakes occur. knowing how long it's been since the last one, allows us to forecast when the next one will occur.

london park with vineyards residents are beginning a recovery process that will take years. that said, it's essential for our bay area neighbors to understand wine country is open for business. it's ready for visitors.this is the view yesterday, after the rain passed through, from jack london state historic park in glen ellen. there are more than 800 wineries in napa and sonoma counties, less than 10 were destroyed or damaged heavily. but yet there's this impression that wine country was destroyed. for the folks that call it home, yes, things have changed, dramatically in some cases, but the impact on the average visitor is

limited. a majority of the damage and devastation is residential, or in stretches of wine country the average visitor isn't going to see. (according to sonoma county tourism more than 90 percent of sonoma county is not affected by the northern california fires.)so, now is a great time to remind yourself about all the great things in our bay area backyard, like jack london state historic park. admission to the park is free through the end of the year. the weekly saturday morning guided hikes are also free through the end of december. ((wipe vo tape 2)) armstrong woods redwoodssonoma county's armstrong woods is amazing, just as it's always been. more than 800 acres strong, the reserve is home to a grove of coast redwoods, awe-inspiring giants. the oldest tree, at an approximate age of 1400 years old, is also more than 300 feet tall. go for a hike, then wander along the main drag in guerneville. get something to eat, start your holiday shopping. it all adds up.((wipe vo tape 3)) calistogadays after the fires began, as soon as it was

safe, businesses throughout wine country were focused on getting back to business as normal. they had to be. with grand estates and polished tasting rooms, it can be easy to forget how many businesses in both napa and sonoma county are small businesses. calistoga's lincoln avenue is a good example, lined with small shops and restaurants. it all trickles down, from servers, to cooks, and hotel staff. (they're all residents that can't afford to lose their livelyhood. in some cases, they've already lost their homes. and with local residents displaced, visitor support is more important than ever.)((2 shot)) with things a little slower.. that means those hard to get reservations, aren't going to be so tough to get. those posh hotels rooms are more plentiful and in some cases being discounted. as locals,

we often have to compete with the out of towners.. now is the time to take advantage.and if you're the type that needs an excuse to indulge a little, the list of hotels and businesses donating proceeds to fire recovery funds is long. so, there's added incentive to getaway and helps others in the process. ((wipe vo tape 4)) spring lakefall is a fabulous time to visit, and discover new finds. spring lake in santa rosa is a locals' favorite, but not necessarily well-known to others. get outside visiting spots like this and jack london state park. then hit a nearby winery, brewery, jumpstart your holiday shopping, buy wine. bay area residents are going to be a big part of the next chapter of wine country history.and that's a good thing. and a fun thing.
