7:00 am
from the knot bay down toward san francisco down to san jose. two aftershocks to error. that occurred at 5:47 this morning. we typically talk about the time and depth and in general this quake is considered right around an average quake, an average quake is 6-miles deep. this one was 7-miles deep. if you were just over there
7:01 am
quake out ward american -- that was where you had the most intense shaking. slees one thing i noticed this morning when it woke me up was just how long it lasted. just around 10, 15 even 20 seconds as well. but that long duration of the earthquake. we'll continue to keep an eye on the aftershock consequence. >> all right thank you very much. welcome to our breaking news coverage of the earthquake here. and the north bay. 6.0. struck at 3:20 this morning. live pictures right now over a mobile home park in the city of napa. we have confirmed that four mobile homes were destroyed because of the fire that happened because of the earthquake. also there have been reports of multiple damage in the downtown napa area. rasmussen reporting. power outages throughout and napa county.
7:02 am
daniel, what's the latest? >> we have all of our roadways that were previously closed now reopened. no closure throughout the bay area but we're still dealing with the roadway damage in the napa area. 121, state route 29 at 121 and old -- between congress valley. those three areas have major roadway damage. we have coned off the areas. attempting to fix the roadway up as much as possible but we ask people to take extra precautions. the other issue that we're dealing with up in the napa areas as well certain other areas around the bay area are power outages lead -- we want to remind people that if you -- >> all right. we just lost -- there he is. o.k. sorry. go ahead, daniel. we lo you for a second. >> not a problem. signals not functioning.
7:03 am
use them as an all-way stop season. take a look and go when safe. >> major roadway damage. what with are we looking at? buckling, big cracks? >> it's all of the above at this time. some of those locations have buckling as much as one and a half to two feet. others have several large cracks and separations. both of those things are going to take quite a bit of time for the county road people to fix up. they also have to address all the other areas. we visually inspected all the mnl bridge in the area but they're not engineers. inspection in more detail as they -- daylight comes into play. >> officer hill as we've been talking to you, we've seen pictures of damage, fires. a lot of things happening right now. 9-1-1 calls go to our calvin benjamin center. tell us an the traffic there.
7:04 am
obviously, you know, when -- they want to call nun and let them know what's happening. what would you tell folks? >> we're asking people to avoid using mafn unless it's a life threaten emergency. you can use our nonemergency line and call us at 1-800-tell- chp. that's our nonemergency license r line. oui asking people to avoid the napa area if possible. by all means please go if you live there but to see the damage, it's not the time. fire, medical and police and we need to be able to deal with the property damage. before we -- specially we need to room to work. >> officer, hill, what do you people who were planning on going to the raceway. they said the race will go on.
7:05 am
do you still encourage people that it's o.k. to go? >> you know, at this time none of those roads are affected by this incident. so that is still acceptable. we encourage people to not charge their plans. continue to do so. we have officers at the stadium that will be talking to the public and spreading the safety message. so please come out to the raceway if that's where you wanted to be. if you were headed to napa to see the damage that you avoid that area. >> are you calling in extra officers and obviously we've talked about mutual aide and pushes resources. >> the chp is working on an hour-by-hour agency. every hour. so we have officers throughout the region. obviously priorities to make
7:06 am
sure we can provide the essential life saving services that we normally provide to the entire bay area while timothy -- >> thanks so much for ther very latest information. california highway patrol watching the rows and trying to keep things clear. we appreciate the information. >> over a mobile home park. in the pap in a area. you can see multiple structures destroyed. a couple of damaged by this fire. that broke out soon after their earthquake hit at 3:20 this morning. talking about -- go ahead. i know we lost it again. >> that picture keeps coming in and out. we talked about the fact they had water issues out there all morning. you can still things are burning. when they lose the pressure, there's some voof the water main breaking at that very location this morning. they're kind of stuck in a lot of situations on whad do. we saw a video of them putting a little bit of water from
7:07 am
their truck. they bring some with them butt city agencies they depend on the water. when it goes away, then it make manies it very difficult and they go in defensive mode and that's happened there. before we lost the picture, that's a very large mobile home park though. >> they're kind of on top of each other. i mean, obviously property was lost and damaged, but the fact that that did not spread says a lot about the way was fire was acting or the cruise. they were working oned ground. >> there's a picture again. you can see -- >> just packed on top of each other theaism could have been a lot worse if that fire spread and they definitely couldn't get water on. i do see a ladder truck down there and someone taking pictures. hose lines there but definitely no water. >> you don't see the water spraying. that's the big difference from the picture. we see damage and we see the fire and we don't see wear. we don't know the water situation there. you can't have the crews as well go straight sot situation.
7:08 am
if you had a water main break and we've covered a thousand of them before. cruise go there and they try to fix them which can be a long process. but then if they -- all over the city and they have a lot of things they're responding to, we don't know where this mitts on their list. but that's an issue. >> memories of '89. water on those buildings. obviously a lot bigger than we saw there. they needed their fire boats to swing out. >> i did see on twitter someone talking about one want strike teams. they do have -- there is one in -- i did a story recently and they have these trucks that are built to carry water with them. that go in and they have these very well e quipped truck. if water's going be an issue, neck send of those up there. but again, when you're talking about earthquake like this and
7:09 am
talking about widespread damage and a lot of issues you're talking about spreading the resources out and trying to get them where they're most needed. that is not -- the amount of water. a little hose doing the best he can. >> talk about some of the other damage too outside of this mobile home park. alex savage. he can see water gushing from the second story of a building and coming into business on ground level. they're dealing with that there. ktvu irks eric -- let's go back to baa eric right now. twhals the laities >> your -- asking people to stay out of area. we can only imagine that part of that is there are already a lot of people in this area. we're at brown and third street. third street opened to traffic and it looks like a busy weekday. behind me on the other side you see what everybody's coming out. brick from these old buildings has just rained down on the
7:10 am
sidewalk here. when this earthquake hit early this morning, you have old buildings, may be able to see part of an awning came down. we showed you earlier this morning brick came right down on a car that was parked out here. there's some significant damage. the old courthouse is nearby here, and it also sustained some significant damage. right there, a big gaping hole in the top corner of this old court house. a lot of the other court functions happen in a newer building but there is--you know, significant damage here to this courthouse that you see here in napa and we're hear trg people who just come out on the street to get a look at everything. people are sort of sharing their story about what they felt, what they heard. we talked to a woman was world health doing her job. two men visiting from chicago and they say this is exactly
7:11 am
the type of thing that they're afraid of. when people from -- who don't live in california are talking about earthquakes. this was a significant one, and they certainly were shaken up by it. again, a lot of people out here getting a look at the damage. they have the area l taped off here. rescue crews and emergency crews are trying to keep people out of this area that would have been affected. we've been hearing about aftershocks. one maybe an hour or so go. that would be something that's significant. brick that's already fallen off the top floor. they don't want anybody getting hurt. again a quick look here at third street. very busy traffic many a lot of people standing out here trying to get a look at what happened this morning. a lot of work to be doarch. >> you talked about some folks out there talking about the timing this. 3:20 in the morning and how fortunate they felt they were
7:12 am
that the downtown area wasn't packed. are you still hearing that chatter? >> absolutely. i could tell you that from many cooing down here, this is a busy area. a lot of courthouse functions as well as regular business going on. all you have to do is look down the sidewalk. this sidewalk would have some people on. >> lrt. it look like we lost eric but a live report from downtown napa. >> that old county courthouse. that's an impressive picture right. there the chunk out of the corner of the building. >> they're taping things off and trying it keep people out of this area. they want to get people out of that area. let's go to the newsroom. dave clark standing by with some information for us. dave? >> my focus is on the people who've been hurt. there have been injuries. several people have been hors p hurt. in napa. news chopper 2 is right there and we've been keeping an yipe the hospital but also a triage.
7:13 am
we're not sure yet of the exact number who've been hurt or how badly they've been hurt through there's triage. john is learning all the details and can tell us more from your advantage point. john? >> reporter: well right now, dave, we are at queen of the valley. it is the premier hospital here in napa. you can see in the triage tent set up. this is a normal routine for any emergency. they've seen about 70 or more patients here, most of them with cuts and lacerations according to a hospital spokeswoman. i -- a woman who said that during the earthquake, she hit
7:14 am
her head against the frame of a door. and her glasses actually cut her head. she was only slightly injured and was able to receive some sutures and has left and gone home. the rest of the hospital is also open many the major department is continuing to receive patients. they say that they have plenty of beds here and no emergency as far as understaffing or overcrowding. most of people who have been -- weave seen here have been ambulatory. most of the folks here have not been seriously injured. we did hear some radio reports of several people who were hit by falling objects. one man peamptly has a severe head trauma. we have not seen that person or heard of him here today, but expected -- is expected he would be here if not
7:15 am
transported to another hospital in the area. this scene you're seeing now is one of injured just arriving here at the hospital. one of the things that we have noticed as that -- there's a great deal of calm here. there's not a lot of panic. people are moving deliberately, and there's a bit of a line of cars for awhile. it's eased off a bit. but they've seen fairly steady progression of parents. you can see this patient being taken in via wheelchair although that is standard for people with significant injuries at hospital. this is hospital is open for business. and the problems that people will have here are going to be numerous and long-lasting. no doubt. there are lots of and lots of people that were probably injured somewhere and they'll
7:16 am
be coming here. we heard reports from the paramedic and emergency medical service people that they're responding routinely to lots and lots of reports of injuries. medical problems of various sorts. and one breathing problem we heard of and that serious head injury. and that's -- the latest we know from here. we're expecting an update. when we get that, we'll bring it to you. >> rotting live there outside the qeep of the valley medical center. they are very organized as hi said there. we're an earthquake concern. most of the hospitals prepare for this. they practice for this and with triage -- cuts and lacerations. so things looking smooth there outside the hospital. >> talking a about that mobile home fire this morning. some pictures. we now have alex savage with
7:17 am
the alex? >> reporter: yeah, good morning. we're getting an up-close look in the northwest part of the napa. let's get you a look. as many as a dozen have burned. what i was told were actually two separate fires that robbing out immediately after this earthquake hit at 3:20 this morning. the cause unclear but in all loold the assumption is they were broken gas lines. they triggered this incredible fires. people ran from their homes this morning rmt the debut good -- we have just heard from the fire captain i spoke with. nobody was hurt here. it appears as though as even made it out. really incredible and obviously the fact that you have a earthquake preceding this large fire is really a blessing in
7:18 am
disguise. i'm joined now by steve becker. tell me -- give me a sense what have you found when you first got here. >> initially we were not even dispatched to these addresses. we saw the fires in two separate locations. as we were responding to a different call. this become our priority rapidly. upon arrival the water mane was ruptured out front. no water. evacuate and accounting for the lives that were present. removing them from harms way and await farg -- suppression water to get here in the mote moad of the county. >> once they got here, we were able to draw a line in the sand and contain the fires to the involved unit. they did not extend beyond those unit. >> you were giving me the rundown a. total of four mobile homes this home. as you always -- 6 to 8 damaged
7:19 am
in varying degrees. that's from fire damage. structural damage we have damage throughout the park. >> reporter: o.k. the challenge was, of course, the fact that you show up and a reptured water line. no water to put on the fire. but you had trucks coming. >> we additional units from the city of napa. it's a combination of those resources. we were able to save a large number of units that without those resources would still be burning. >> this fire here is at a mobile park here. this is near the intersection of orchard avenue for folks at home. if you want to know where this is exactly. odd separate mobile home fire that is is close by, just south of here. what damage was tope there. >> one unit fully involved
7:20 am
separate from this. several park we had another mobile home involves and -- several other structured working fires thup to this point. >> nonstop for you guys >> . a lot of help from our mutual aid. >> do you have a sense of how many people that you're work have been hour. >> a large number of medical calls this morning. nonstop since 5 minutes after the earthquake. i cannot give an actually number or to the degree of injuries but i can tell you our dispatch center and incident command staff have been nonstop since the incident dispatching calls which is the radar you hear right now. >> thank for taking the time morning. near intersection of orchard. you can see the steam here. they do have these -- as many as a dozen mobile homes have burned this morning. four of theme were destroyed in
7:21 am
the fire. the scums is had had a gust -- and that's what trigger this for the last couple of hours to get it under control. we'll of course keep check in with the fire officials. we'll have further updates on mornings on 2. we'll send it back to you guys in the stawd owe. >> certainly that's good information to know that they were two separate fires that were happening there and several fires throughout the city. when you talk about -- >> you think about what the firefighter was saying there and the stress that they were going through. they had the fire, they saw that the water main busted. they could not get water on this fire appear so what did they do? they starting evacuate people it. these are live pictures from the down top napa area in. >> yes. now you can see from -- a live
7:22 am
look stay away from that area. you have so many of the part of the building that's sitting on squawk. as you pull -- really all throughout that street there is more rubble and more debris and that little corner part of that roof looking pretty precarious this. this is downtown napa. you can see that's where they're allowing some people to walk. i assume those are emergency crews. we have the usgs on phone. brad, you're joining us to give us more insight. we've heard west napa, more about the fault. what can you tell us about the shaking that woke up this community this morning? >> elsbury with the shaking was -- what we'd say but being relatively relative. this was the largest in a -- since the -- 25 years ago.
7:23 am
the shaking was quite strong near the 40% of the -- nearly two feet per second. so quite intense shaking concentrated in the napa renal. >> and this is on the west napa fault? >> it's near the west napa fault. we can't specify at this point precisely what fall -- it occurred at a depth of 10- kilometers. the location of this earthquake very well but we don't know the geoonly tri of that depp to say it occurred thoon fault. >> having it not happen on a tawlt that's been well mapped and well watched and how does that change in terms of what you guys can predict of what happened next and what we can expect coming from this area and under the ground there? >> well it's a lesson -- of what fault it occurred on.
7:24 am
mobile map faults in the area. the strike slip the map of those faults. it'sless of a concern it terms of what fault it occurred on what the behavior was. magnitude strike slipped them this engine. is consistent of what we know about the faults. we've seen over 30 aftershocks. one as large as 3 pn 6. this is what we've been matched. so at this point, nothing particularly surprising about the level of shaking or the number of aftershocks but this was a significant earthquake that did cause strong shaking. >> thank you for the update. right there. looking now at live pictures against from the mobile home park, where four mobile homes
7:25 am
were destroyed. dosens more damaged because of the earthquake there. i believe we have someone on the phone right now. >> oh, yeah. the governor's off -- i believe let's two to kelly on phone. hi, kelly. >> good morning. >> what can you tell us about this situation from your vantage publish? >> we have -- since just machines after the earthquake occurred. this is a significant earthquake. you're seeing the pictures of damage and what's happened. and we determine, you know, there's more damage than we expected. we have members of the state agencies here. the leadership, the governor's leader which is the director and the cabinet has already had a conference call this morning and talked about the resources that may be needed on a local level because we know the firefighters and law enforcement folks are extremely busy. and one of the main messages we're telling people right now is one, not to call 9-1-1
7:26 am
unless there's a emergency. we are having some issues with, you know, the phone lines and cellular lines overloads. we will have aftershocks t. thisst a chance -- 54% of a 5.0 or greater mag any true attituded earthquake occurring. what that means that if people feel shaking, they need to take tax a, which is to drop, cover and hold on drill. before that, you should take look in your house an see if there's anything that may cause harm to you. if it falls off the wild or large objects that could come down and injure you because most injuries and earthquakes are caused from falling object. >> let me imrupt you. i apologize. how long when you active what you doing are you prepared to kind of stay in this mode? are we talking throughout the day, to the next week. certainly it's going to take a while to work through all the
7:27 am
stuff that oui see glg smg we will be activated for weeks if not months. we work in phases. right now we're looking at the first responder emergency management face, which is getting the right resources in the area. we've got mutual aid teams from around the bay area into the -- to help with some of the fires and other things. but then as we get more damage estimates, we will consider whether or not we need to state of emergency, federal assistance and look at how we work with the counties to recover especially in the city of napa where three there seems to be a significant amount of frsk damage. >> do you expect him to been o on scene either in the napa area or -- >> he's monitoring the activity and speaking with direct to of emergency services to determine the extent of what's going on and he'll take whatever actions he needs to take based on what
7:28 am
we discovered. had. following what's happening as far as him going into the area. that has not been announced a in the point. our focus is on the first responders on getting the right resources to put out the fire and discover if there's anybody trapped or any injuries we may not have discover that the point. >> thank you so much t. looks like they'll billion needing a lot of happen. we appreciate that update from the governor's office of the emergency services this morning. they are activated at -- they've been active and they will -- will provide help to these local agencies as that help becomes needed, which is already at that point. >> yeah many and two message kelly was the cell phone lines are so busy right now. if you don't have to call 9-1- 1, don't call. also talked about be pave if you do look outside. aftershocks in the area.
7:29 am
30 to 70 could happen over the next week and they can range in size from 1 to 2s town 4s or 5s possibly. >> for the moment the ground starting shaking. people starting to tweeting about it. and we've seen a steady stream of folks doing that this morning. rosemarry monitoring that situation on us -- how social media is reacting to this earthquake. >> you're right. and, of course, pictures help to tell the story. take a look at this. came in a few hours ago. i just escaped the napa earthquake. everything fell around me. and not on me. so you take a look at this photo. it looks like his bedroom. and it look like empg just fell around him. i'm guesting this probably his bed. so although very unlucky. i can't imagine being woken up by this. thank you for the tweet. this one from david silver.
7:30 am
all the bottles on the floor. i don't know if this is his home or maybe a small store but a lot of damage there. one more here from trev and this is is the safe way in american canyon. results from the -- a lot of wine bottles on the floor. some very pricey. this is definitely the liquor aisle of the safeway. a lot of damage there. still left, you know, o to clean up and who knows how much we'll see. of course these pictures help us tell the story. tweet us we'll continue to post these. >> thanks. impressive picture right there. you have to think wine country. we saw wine bottles but also pictures on twitter also of the barrels. >> yeah. >> knocked over. nose are a lot of heavier but barrels knocked over. i'm sure all the owners and folks are in there checking it out. >> we want to remind people
7:31 am
that the police are asking people to avoid the area. they're seeing major roadway damage on 21, 29 and old -- in one case the officer was saying they were seeing one and a half foot cracks in the roadway. that obviously was -- they always have to check that out. trying to make some reerps so people can get through there. that's something to keep in mind if you're going to the area. let's go back to the newsroom. dave with the latest. >> we're still pulling things together. evacuation centers have been set up at napa high school. they're now evacuations center. we're keeping an eye on the queen of the valley medical center which is treating several people for injuries. we're waiting from an official update on how many people have been hurt and the extefnt injuries. we saw john foul -- it seems to with relatively calm even
7:32 am
though the triage center is set upoutside. it seemed to be relatively calm. emergency room is open t. does not appear to have been damaged severely in any way but we're keeping an eye and waiting for the official update on the number of people being treated for injuries. you always heard alex salvage. he was at the scene of mobile homes. as many as 12 mobile homes were damaged by fire in the american canyon area. again, that is coming here. we're hearing from you and -- on twitter and on face bookletting us know what it like where you are and when that quake hit. we have a slide show showing photos and some of the damage around the area. check it out. you can see things for yourself but we also want to hear from
7:33 am

7:34 am
there. go -- if you're just joining us, maybe you were able to go back to sleep. wanted to get an assessment of what the situation is. american canyon, valao. everyone else seems to be doing o.k. >> got to dell the story at the intersection of orchard. that's where we had had the fire this morning at a mobile home park. they started evacuating folks out. ktvu's eric avenue saj savage. morning. what's the latest? >> reporter: mike, good morning to you. they have this fire under control. as many of a dozen mobile homes burned. four of theme destroyed. we're hearing from some the stories when this quake hit and this has i have fire erupted.
7:35 am
we want to -- this is bill. here's the neighbor just across the street describing what was going on. >> everyone is -- cerch got out o.k. are we assuming he was gas lined? >> i would only guess. i could only guess glaces. >> describe what these looked like. >> when i looked across the street, i noticed flames in the back of this house. i said this must be a gas leak or something like that. and then it just took off. just took off immediately. i mean, it was just a matter of 2:00 before this place was totally engulfed. >> that didn't help. that did not help at all. there's no water pressure. the water main broke as near as i can tell. >> were the fire crews frantic? >> these guys are really professional. they were johnny on the spot. this is -- handsome gentlemen asked me to walk around and bang on people's doors to get them out of houses.
7:36 am
>> how much concern did you have for your neighbors? in a >> they're homeless and i'm very concerned about them and -- but i've seen the red cross here. keeping my fingers crossed for them but i am worried. yang anything worse than losing your house. >> what -- people running out of their homes or were people -- >> that's the story from one neighbor. we're in this mobile home community. i was just told here this is a retirement community. for those who are 55 and older. orchard avenue in the northwest part. you can see devastation here this morning. 4 mobile homes prefabricated homes in this community, wiped out by this fire. firefighters did suspect it was fired by ruptured gas lines. four of these homes wiped out by fire. another 6 to 8 homes have
7:37 am
pretty heavy damage. the situation is under control. the fire captain did tell us that everyone is o.k. here the everyone made it out. no injuries to report here. we're going to keep speaking with neighbors, get some more of the stories here in napa. we'll send it back for you. >> i got to warn the viewers there's a delay. about four or five seconds. the way it's going to be. but the firefighter you interviewed talked about the homes that were destroyed or damaged because of that fire. when you drove in, did you see other mobile homes not necessarily damaged by the fire but structurally damaged because of the earthquake? >> reporter: yeah. there are reports of some of these homes in this particular community that were knocked off their foundation but the force of this quake. i'm not sure. i'm looking over here. do you have an exact figure -- an eke doe -- how many homes have the structural damage? >> in this complex, ci tell
7:38 am
just from walking around the immediate scene, we have a large number. city-wide i've been given an update by our pio from the city downtown that we do have a large degree of damage in the downtown core and throughout the city to the degree and the numbers, i do not have that information. it'll be several days before it's developed >> . fair to say, dozens or hundreds? >> beyond dozens just a personal estimate listening to our radio traffic and from what i've been told. >> what's the best advice if i find my home has structural damage? >> translator: best thing to do right now -- emergency response is to look at the website www.cityofnapa.org. the key is, if you do smell gas, to shutdown the gas at
7:39 am
your meter. only if you smell it. o.k.? beyond that, if something does not appear safe, stay out of it. go toas -- to goens to friends or -- this community with our floods and pass fires and earthquakes we're really good at taking care of each other. talk to your neighborhoods. get in touch with them. find shelter for those that need t. look up your disaster organizations. >> certainly good advice. thank you so much for your time the advice here from the captain, captain with the napa fire department. if you notice any sort of structural damage, probably a good idea to stay out of that place. find safe place to say because as we have heard there are aftershocks likely more to come. by again, the situation here --
7:40 am
this mobile home community a retirement community for those 55 and up as -- what we've been told. the fires are under control. that's the good news. no one hurt out here. but obviously quite a bit of damage done to a number of homes here. we'll stay on top of this scene. further updates later on. back to you guys. >> thanks. great advice bit captain there and also to note the neighbor he interviewed, how described the firefighters very professional. >> you can't get water. they started to evacuating all the residents. they waited for those county trucks to come in. hats off to the napa county firefighters. >> absolutely. they were on their way to another call when they saw two columns of smoke coming up and quickly rerouted. that's what they're dealing with. we do have crews -- alex savage. we have folks all over the bay
7:41 am
area keeping an eye on things. talked about the roadways. people staying off the roadways. joining us no talk about what he's seen in terms of damage and tom, how significant is the damage that we're seeing? that's a pretty decent size crack i'm looking at. >> reporter: well, this is on route 121. that's the main road between the sanoma and napa value list. you have a road heave and a crack. the crack runs entirely across the entire [ inaudible ] this isn't blocked off yet but it will be. there's major work to be done and a lot of work that will need to be done. just down the road, 121, and 29 that's the main road going up north on the left side of the napa valley as your heading
7:42 am
north. that intersection is extremely dangerous. so dangerous that the sh has posted two shovels there because the light is out. even with the shp there, there's a number of people that -- they're making a mistake. it's very dangerous. just slow down and you be very, very careful. in addition to that, i talked to -- every bridge engineer, every brj inspector has been assigned. i'm sure they'll be bringing people in from other parts of the state, other districts. we're in district four and they will be looking at all the age brims and all the highways that make sure they understand the full extent the damage. they're going to have a lot of repairs thovment resident going have, have speives. the main thing is that at some point they're going to try to close this down. if you don't have business down -- stay away from this area because at some point they're
7:43 am
going to say that's it. >> i got to drop you off there because john fowler's got a live interview. hold on for a second. let's go back out to john fowler. john? >> reporter: all right. just getting an update on numbers. i'm with division chief darrin drake. tell us how many and how serious are these injurys? >> well, john currently we have 87 people that have been seen at our emergency room here. we have two adults in critical -- and a pediatric patient that's in critical condition. there's a variety of injuries. we're seeing some lacerations, i don't know the specifickings behind many of them, but many of the people i would consider as walking wowbded coming in with lacerations, produces and bumps and possibly some broken bones. >> expect to see more? >> i believe we will.
7:44 am
as people get back into their homes in an attempt to clean up with lots of broken glass and things that are in disarray, we can see more patients. >> more serious injuries from falling ons? can you tell? the >> -- as a result of a chimney or a fireplace that had chance collapsed. >> all right. thank you very. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we'll stay in touch here with the hospital officials and bring you the very latest but as the chief said, more than 80, 87 people have been seen here. one child in critical condition. appears to be the result of the a fallen chimney or masonry. we did hear some of that on our scanner traffic as we were approaching the hospital. many of the ambulances here are busy. we've seen a long stream of them. we can expect to see more of that. reporting live. back to you.
7:45 am
>> all right. that's not news that we want to hear that we're dealing with critical injuries but again as john just told us too, when you have falling thing and structural damage and some major impacts from that. our thoughts are with them. >> one -- because of a possibility of a collapse because of a chimeny. or fireplace. don't forget the aftershocks are possibly out there. just because the brick hasn't fallen down doesn't mean it was loosing. be very aware. >> be very careful. they have some evacuation sphrs because if even if the people aren't hurt, cement build -- if they're worried about gas leaks. you're going to want to get away from the building that has you concerned. you can go to the centers. you know dave clark has been following the information
7:46 am
coming out of area and where folks cogo. go back to him with news in the newsroom. >> as you were talking -- another aftershock. a 2.5 aftershock. we've heard the stiff napa. they've given us a lot of information. you heard 87 people treated for injuries at queen of the valley hospital. two of the injuries are major injuries. we've heard that four mobile homes have been destroyed. two mobile homes are on fire right now at orchard avenue and north napa. there are have been 50 gas main breaks. 0 water main breaks. some of the areas have no water. we're told the wear is -- some areas have no water. look at the damage on your television screen rights nowment some of the storms and the american canyon area, severe damage, and items tossed around and all over the stores
7:47 am
and on the ground in certain areas. historic buildings have been damaged in napa. they include the sam key laundry, the goodman library, and you saw the video early of the napa county courthouse. that giant gap in the -- that's been knocked out of the wall of that building there. evacuation centers set up now at napa high school at the napa high school gym. and their ambulances are responding to various scenes and more are being added. we're expecting another update at 10:00 on the injury updates. again the injuries vary but at least 8 # people have done to be treated for injuries. and again we expect that update coming up at 10:00 but yes, as you were talking another aftershock and their predicting there will be more. so be ready. live in the newsroom.
7:48 am
auto i'm dave clark. back to you guys. >> yeah. usgs saying 70 over the next week. >> the governor's office told us they expect to be up for days or weeks. we did have to interrupt tom who was telling about -- we had to get to the hospital for the very latest information on the injuries. let's go back to tom who joins us. tom? >> reporter: yeah. well, i hope you're seeing pictures from chapter two. >> yeah, we are. >> over our area. the road had been split entirely across. what's interesting beyond, that's there's a vineyard on either side and the vineyard on the north side literally has a crack going all the way through t. the -- you don't see this very often but it split this highway. what's happening right now is they're starting to jackhammer the hole here so they can start feeling this and work thong but
7:49 am
still allowing traffic to go through other otherwise this would be a problem. this crack -- it's probably where it heaves up at least a foot high. you can see probably three or four feet into the ground and it goes entirely across the highway in two major cracks. that crack continues right into the vineyard going to the north. and this is starting to be somewhat of a spectacle because of the traffic. it has to slow down and there's some -- starting to show up which is a very only because these guys at some point in time are going to have to do some serious work. the news media is out here. let us do the work for you so you don't get yourself in the middle of something that might be a long, long delay. that's the situation here on highway 121 here. cutting wharf road. about a mile to the west of 121
7:50 am
and 29, the main highway going north in the napa valley on the left side of the valley. that's the situation from here. if you have questions, that ento answer them. will they have to close down at some time? >> reporter: i'm sure of it. people are driving across the crack. now where they're driving across maybe a few inches thick but you got to pull up this roadbed and do something in order to smooth the road down. you can hear the jackhammer now. you have to do that in order to fix the road. while they'll be able to fix it temporarily. they will likely close this road. if they don't, it'll be surprising to me. that's what we pay for them. they're down here doing it. >> we can hear that jackhammer.
7:51 am
we're actually seeing them from news chopper two. pull out a little bit and show us the vineyard that you're talking about. see if we can see that crack that you were explaining because that is pretty dramatic and, you know, when folks talk about earthquake and the shaking and stuff happening, it gives you a sense of things. thank you for that update for us out there on the roadway. >> all right. we were talking about aftershocks of the let's get over to mark. he's been with us since we came on air. nope. we're going to go to live to eric rasmussen. >> reporter: we have moved down main street a little bit here in downtown napa. crews obviously have a lot of damage to assess right now but take a look at this building behind me. this is currently the collective business. however this is the fight for building and according to the plaque that they have right on building, this is the oldest surviving commercial building
7:52 am
in all of napa. and you can see the -- the destruction that happened after the earthquake early this morning, just the brick and stone coming right off the facade of the building. according to the information we're reading this goes back to 1875. people who've lived in napa for awhile are very familiar with this location and this building because all the different businesses that have come through here. that's one of the striking images we've seen here in downtown napa of some of the damage from this earthquake. of course this happened very early in the morning. thankfully when no one was here, it appears. we did speak to one gentlemen. he thought there'd been a retro fit performed sometime in the recent past. that's not anything we've been able to confirm here this morning. it appears that this earthquake, a 6.0 was too much for the facade to handle.
7:53 am
there's a lot of damage being assessed here. you can probably see from the cars behind me, there's just a ton of traffic weaving its way through downtown napa. they want to take all of this in for themselves. emergency crews have asked that people stay out of area if they don't have to be here. we've seen a number of fire truck and ambulances and pg & e trucks. this is just one more image of some of the damage in downtown napa. we've been circulating around and trying to get some of video for you. >> we had news chopper 2. some cruise out there workingen the roadway. from your is vantage point v you seen any crews cleaning up or checking to see if some of these structures are safe? >> reporter: i can only assume. when we were down at third and brown, we showed you earlier this morning, down brown street
7:54 am
there were a number of first responderring, sheriff's office firefighters and they appeared to be at least trying to secure some of these buildings. i imagine that's the first orld of business is to make sure people don't get in an area where they can hurt and the next step is assessing how sphantd the damage is. there could be structural problems that you can't see. >> yeah. >> you get the sense that they're trying to tape everything off, check it on the list, put it on list before they come back to it and figure out where they need to go next? >> that's a fair assessment. first responders justing to do their job. trying to get things under control. there's a huge response and it's something well under way. >> reporting for us from downtown napa and certainly some dramatic pictures of the damage that we're seeing. if you're just -- you're also seeing that is highway 121.
7:55 am
very clearly that roadway is being slowed down. they've stopped some of that traffic. the cars stopping as that jackhammer tears up that roadway. not sure if they'll be heading to a closure. but no traffic through there or slowly around because they've got some work to do out there. >> all right. mentioned mark. let's go check in with mark and see what's happening right. any significant aftershocks? >> one aftershock. 7:22. that's a 2.5 or above. when you improve -- just shocked me the once fact he said the ground movement # per second. that's what happened in the north. two feet her second. that was the detected ground movement. as far as the aftershocks. this map, a bunch of aftershocks. i have a scale here.
7:56 am
i'm showing you everything above a 1.0. a lot of this activity not felt. right now, i'm at at 92.5. once -- the main shock occurred at 6.0 during the 3:00 hour. we talk about the san andres felt. the suspect fault near the west napa fall -- you can't pick up the epicenter. now this is the intensity shaking with the instrument intensity. look at all the yellows and reds. all the damage focused up toward napa up toward american canyon. picking up the most intense damage and as far as the shake map, this is what people felt. wide spread shaking across the bay area down towards san francisco, down toward fremont and san jose. the magnitude 6.0.
7:57 am
a 6.0 to a 6.0 but the latest is a tsh 3:20 and there once again is the aftershock consequence at 5:01. and 7:22 a 2 .5. more coming up in a little bit. >> thank you, mark. let's go become to highway 121. john is down there. i believe you're standing out there on the roadway? there you are. >> i'm standing right here on the road -- on the side of the road right next to the vineyard. i'm going to put this -- all the way down. i'm not close to the bottom. it's probably another six or eight feet and then i'm walking over here. >> be careful tom. >> reporter: the crack continues under the grapes and it keeps on going. that's j usa sign of a very
7:58 am
large earthquake. it's rare to see something like this except in north ridge, places like that. but -- realizing this went across and ripped that highway apart. it shows you just how powerful this thing was. i thought it'd be fascinating. they're working on road and trying to get people through. at some point in time it's going to get too busy or too dangerous. and the two gentlemen right in front of me are standing on top of this heat and i'm walking down towards it. this is major damage. this is nothing insignificant. this has to come out. when this comes out, that's is going to be where some major road work is going to have to take place. they're doing it well and keeping traffic going. some big kudos. >> translator: the pictures and really we're getting a great look from how you're being able
7:59 am
to show this from us. as you watch -- how far that crack extends or as far as the eye can see? >> you can't see much because it goes under the -- i'm not going to trespass. i'll go ask the vineyard owner if we can going in there. i just noticed that and i said wow. this is more than just some insignificant thing. i'm going to cross the read on the other side and see if it goes to the other vineyard. this is -- imagine ground fall. you don't see this very often. >> six to eight feet? you can still go down 6 to 8 feet. >> i'm -- i would say that's a good 10 feet below me where you can actually see the ground come back together. that doesn't mean it goes off to an angle or something like that. and of course this ground is weakened now. that crack could get keeper and
8:00 am
wider and come together. who knows. but that's the reality of ground folding. >> we had another aftershock. did was the rest of the -- i'm assuming you didn't feel it because you had a jackhammer. the rest of the ground feel stable and secure enough to have you walking around there? >> oh, yeah. it's really kind of amazing. you know, we do so much work with -- they understand what we're doing. they try not to impede what we're doing as long as we don't get in the way. it's a quid pro quo. they've been fabulous about this. this is an area that's drawing a lot of attention, and so -- but everything else around here seems to be just fine. again, now with daylight, we're going to see some of the damage. we're going to see what else we see. i suspect we're going to find more stuff. there's significant damage. >> thank you very much for that report. very felling about the
8:01 am
situation out there. and interesting. one of those cracks as you can see on the roadway there is pretty easy to see but into that vineyard. maybe down 10 feet. >> so today the chargers are in town to face the 49ers. as we know, the fame is scheduled -- ace train is cancelled. because they need to inspect the tracks. >> find a different way. >> find a different way. a car or some other way because they're -- >> that's not going to happen. >> we've seen the california train. they are starting south africa and moving their way south to check out the train. >> right now? i didn't see that one. >> they tweeted that one earlier. i don't know if they have an update. that's what they were tweeting earlier about their situation there. and that's what they have to do. they do the same thing that they've done. they said all trains up in san francisco have been suspected
8:02 am
and they've cleared san francisco to redwood city. everybody making may be -- and making sure that everything looks good. bart, we did hear from this earlier. they said everything's expected to be normal service for those folks. >> here we are looking at twitter and facebook. a lot of information coming in. >> you're right. and as you were talking about, for the 49er game, so, of course, the major impact over parts of north, american canyon area and see the fallout that's sort of -- turns into a domino effect. for your plans for today, let's check in. david fest sent this to us. but again, we know the north bay definitely a lot of wineries and collectors and so this, you know -- i'm guessing but could be a thousand dollars wort of damage but some of them are safe. this picture from wal-mart as american canyon. you can see again, we've got
8:03 am
the liquor aisle and a lot of, a lot of bottles broken on the floorment keep in mind some of these stores may not be open or may they have certain aisles blocked off. that's to keep in mind if you're going to be out and about. as officials have been saying, try not to go out if you can't do have to. thank you so much. this is just a stunning shot here. chopper two has been picks this up from above but here's another picture of this -- i'm not sure but it could be multiuse. in issue's home on top. bust just that one just wiped and the roof sort of just hacking on there. incredible photos though. some of these pictures peal in comparison to the folks that are their home burned or seeking shelter. we appreciate your photos. they help to tell the story. facebook and twitter. back to you. >> you can that about folks
8:04 am
being injured. reporting 87 pairnlth patients is have gone through there. a triage center there. one is pediatric and one of the reason is because of a possible fireplace or chimney collapse on to that pediatric patient. we're hoping for the best there. obviously an evacuation -- maybe empty now but as we move on there this story -- their home is not stable and they may have to amuse out of house. they've going to need those centers. >> there are 50 gas main leaks. we had the mobile home fires in napa. four destroyed. several others damaged n. though situations that is a very big concern. they think the fire started because the gas main leaks. that -- set up.
8:05 am
and -- well as grace churr much f. you -- that's not safe, you do need to make sure you clear out of that area. >> if you smell gas, call immediately. >> report those. those are the emergencies they want you to call for otherwise do not call if you don't have -- alex has been monitoring that situation that weaver been talking about. he's standing in front of the damage and joins us live with the very latest. alex? >> good morning to you. a frighting morning. it's right off of highway 2-9d and orchard average. you can see devastation behind us. as many as a dozen homes in this community were just wiped out by a massive fire this morning. four of them destroyed. and about 6 to 8 others that had pretty heavy fire damage. these units are just smoldering
8:06 am
still. firefighters have this situation under control and we want to point the -- these were gas-fed fires. ruptured gas lines of the that's suspected to be the cause. they took off very quickly. we do understand and firefighters believe that everybody made it out of these homes no reports of anyone being hurt this morning. they're still checking to make sure that's the case. you can see they -- they still have a lot of hot spots and a lot more work. let me listen you in to a neighbor. he woke up with the earthquake. and at that point he looked across and he saw this fire taking off. listen to what he had to say. >> it was a shaking and a baking. hive been here 28 and a half years. i've lived in napa almost all my life. you go with the flowment we just want to make sure
8:07 am
everybody was safe. >> reporter: now along with the fire here at this mobile home park the other big issue is there are quite a few homes that have structural damage. sol of homes were knocked right off the foundation. we've seen some of them and according to the manager, he believes that as many as 50 homes may be have some sort of structural damage and in all lulled, the people are people not going to want to stay there as we move forward from here and they're going to have to find another place to stay. the red cross is here to help some of the people that have so much structural damage that they're doing to have to find another place to live. you can see this home right here in front of us still smoldering this morning after napa firefighters try to control a huge gas-fed fire. as many as a dozen homes were damaged by this fire.
8:08 am
as a result of the earthquake. but the good news no one hurt out here. many neighbors quite rattled at what happened but very thankful their neighbors are safe as far as we know. we'll stay on top of situation. keep checking in with firefighters and have an update later on. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. mobile home park. the napa airport right now is closed because of the earthquake. >> we want to go to out to john fowler who's monitoring this situation. let's see a helicopter in his shot. are you with us? o.k. doesn't look like we have john. >> i am. what you're looking at a reach helicopter. it's a medical helicopter that's -- has just landed here at queen of the valley hospital. there's a patient inside. we don't know the patient's condition. there are three critical patients here at queen of the valley. two adults and one child.
8:09 am
this is -- just the latest patient to come here. this patient almost certainly will be in very serious or critical condition because of the helicopter transport. many of the 87-plus patients who have been seen here at the hospital were treated for cuts and lacerations. spoke to one woman who said she literally fell into a doorway and her glasses cut her eyebrow. and she had a deep gash on her forehead. we've seen several other people including several in wheelchairs with head injuries. we're told that the pediatric patients, the child was injured by a fallen chimney. we have one more patient arriving at queen of the valley hospital. we don't know whether the patient is in that gurnny or what's going on. this might be a transport out.
8:10 am
so we haven't got any information here what's going on. don't know if there's a patient aboard or a transport to another facility. that could be the case. could be that the may go a pediatric hospital. this is a general emergency and trauma center for the napa valley. there's the pediatric specialist. we'll keep you nmped. right now as we said, 87 people have been injured. two adults critical an one child in critical condition. we'll have more for you as the morning continues. reporting live in napa.
8:11 am
is have you seen patients being taken in and out of there? >> absolutely. we -- yes. we've seen many patients. there's a blue screen up there that's preventings us from -- you can see -- she's in white. we saw her walk a little while ago. many of the patients are ambulatory as the fire chief told us a few minutes ago. -- there are a couple of serious injuries and one of the key issues is to triage these patients and that's what this tent does. they were prepared for this because they've done simulation
8:12 am
and trainings here repeatedly for such an event. this is the first time in 25 years that they've had to use for a earthquake of this size. back to you. >> thanks. in napa. as the chopper pulls out, this is a residential area where tom was earlier of the that's just a roadway pa -- look at the homes there. you can see the dirt that's coming out from -- i don't know a water main break or something happened >> . a water main break or water coming up from the ground or somewhere else. you can -- that gets muddy on -- >> it looks like as you can see
8:13 am
the amount of water coming down. it may be a pipe repture. obviously through there. water main coming through. quite a mess and really across napa, it's busy. they have so many things they're responding to. this would be a major incident that crews are -- >> you can see the water. >> bubbling up. >> on any other day but on this day, when at last word -- and i have a feeling it's gotten worse. 0 water main breaks. 50 gas main breaks. so at this point, they put some tape town make sure that no one goes by through there and gets injured or gets into any kind of situation. they put some sandwich boards up and they got to move on. it's pretty quite. the water appears to -- been shutoff. >> despite this, despite the 121 crack that tom was out near 29shp saying no active road clo
8:14 am
sures at this time. doesn't mean it's not going to happen seecially at 121 as we saw tom put his hand down that crack. >> unbelievable. >> they're going to have to rip up to reerp that. it will have to be closed. chp saying no closures at this time. they've checked all the major bridges in the bay area. those are open. deemed safe for vehicle traffic. >> even though this earthquake happened at 3:20, so we're talking almost 4 hours ago. we are still in the middle of a very developing situation because they're still assessing everything. we're getting aftershocks. patients are coming into the hospitals. so this by no means is over. this is just getting ready -- the grumpiest office -- they're prepared to be in place for weeks >> . he's not there at any of the scenes but -- possibly tomorrow. he's tapped in and has his
8:15 am
folks monitoring situation. let's get over to mark. he's been with us the whole way. mark, what's happening? >> i'm still amazed that you had the interview. the ground movement. >> you got him? >> two feet. >> two feet. >> two feet per second. just like that. that's what everybody experience inside parts of north bay. take a look at the overall region. right now i'm showing you aftershocks. all those little dots. 2.5 or greater. get a better idea of the layout. there's some. there's american canyon out toward napa. there's the disdid issue that o -- shaking right around 10:15. possibly 20 seconds. a long duration in terms of shaking. there's a list of aftershock
8:16 am
beginning this morning at 5:01. 5:47. that's a -- throughout the 6:00 -- 7:54. that was a 2.8. typically we talk about earthquakes here in the bay area we talked about the ones you heard an, the san ann rays. vs. rr close to the west napa fault. this -- this thought produced a quake just about 14 years ago. a magnitude 5.2. we're seeing a lot of the same images back then that we're seeing this morning with a lot of the brick coming down and some injuries to report. as far as the intensity showing occupy the -- this is from instrument intensity. very well defined. the strong shaking of that yellow area out toward -- basically very concentrated out toward napa and even approach -- out toward the area. in materials of earthquake
8:17 am
depth, that's another component and this is considered an average depth. so as you can see here, shallow at three miles. average 6. the depth right about here just around 7-mile. if you have a shallow quake right below the surfacer -- it's more wide spread across the region and that was the case extended down to san francisco and down to sacramento and the santa clara valley as well. that's the latest. >> mark, isis just want to ask you since we have, you -- we all kind of the hayward fault was next. we were taken back by the west napa fault? i fault i never heard of. >> we done talk about it much. it has you produced some sizable earthquakes. that is the one that could
8:18 am
produce a stronger earthquake. and when you think about all those faults moving across, they start out like a tree branch down towardson california. down toward the salt and see. sea. it extends to bay area: just lie -- all these faults that filter out from there. from what i'mer d reag the napa fault is a northern extension. so basicically all these tree branches. >> you know when we talked earlier, it's not necessarily which fault but is the movement what they predict odd what they would expect theap is what they would expect. we did see the violent shaking. from a store and home. >> cue that up again. folks are joining us. there's this one shot from inside a store and it just shows the violent shaking people describing the feeling like a freight train rolling
8:19 am
through their house. i didn't feel that. and i wint too far. if owrp on top of that, you definitely felt it. >> it wasn't rolling enough to keep people in bed. i also -- sometimes when you have these earthquakes, people say i slept through it. very few -- here's the video. watch it. wait for it. there you go. and see -- i don't know who sleeps through that. very solid sleepers if we can. but that started if i'm looking a the my clock -- goes about 10 seconds before that violent shaking really stops. that gives us a really good idea of really why things are falling off store chevrolets and you shelves. you'll understand why we see some the damageful we want to go down to some video that we got of a music store and got to tell you here's the problem. this is the disappointing part of when anything happens. you see the plate glass windows that are breaking out.
8:20 am
i believe this is valao. plate glass windows that are broken. you have vulnerable stores and we are getting reports of looting and that's -- that is the disappointing but unfortunately a reality of situations like this when people take advantage of the fact that the windows are gone. >> happening -- that music store. that's the one store. o.k. just wanted to make sure. >> certainly police will be responding to that. that's not something that we ever like to hear about but too often do. in the situation, there are people that help and take advantage of the situation. we do know from our crews that in valao in american canyon, a lot of situations where you have -- the plate glass fell out and have left these storms vulnerable. if you see any illegal activity, you need to alert authorities and certainly we hope that doesn't happen.
8:21 am
>> social media let's go back to rose mary. >> i want to start here with lynn day jones. omg. hope everyone is o.k. this is our neighbors house. take a look at. this it looks like a portion of chimney came crashing down. and you can see all the wiring that sports it just hanging out here. i don't know if it this car but major damage done this had this -- it's too dark to tell. but again that coming from linda jones. let's check in here. peter says felt it major in napa. woke up the neighborhood. this picture here, if i can expand it. there we go. it looks like a shelf this is somebody's kitchen here. we talked about it before this happened in the middle of the night and thankfully because most people with -- when this actually took place.
8:22 am
thank you for. that this one was a ktvu photographer. he's got this one photo here. road buckling on highway 12. you don't see this every; right? and then from randy this one in -- but. a lot of cleanup going on. i can imagine probably some of these stores may not even be open for today. aisle continue to post them. back to you. >> i was here in 89 and the one thing is that is the difference beside the mag new attitude was the damage. you saw the damage in the north bay, the east bay, the cyprus structurement all throughout the small communities and this one although it's bad news, but it's napa and -- we're not seeing that other damage south. so you saw the energy blow through napa but it seems that
8:23 am
it's contained to that area. i don't know if that's due to the magnitude, probably a little bit but also again what we've learned since 199 and the way -- 1989 and the way we build things. >> and the way in the contained area, it's a pretty intense situation out there. we do have some injuries and evacuation centers set up. dave clark is our news room monitoring that part of our story. >> there are evacuation centers set up. i'm going to show you on the full screen where they are. evacuation centers at napa high school, 2475 jenniferson street and grace church at napa. solano avenue. the city of napa gave us an update on some the damages. 50 gas main breaks have been reported 30 water main breaks, leaks. some areas have no water.
8:24 am
both water treatment plants are running. some historic buildings have been damaged. the napa county courthouse has been damaged. some other key commercial buildings. weefer talked about injuries. at least 8 # people have been treated for all kinds of injuries. they even have an outdoor triage center set up. at least two major injuries. as for mobile homes, 12 mobile homes have been damaged. no injuries reported. four mobile homes have been destroyed by fires. so a lot has been happening. another aftershock. it's not the -- as you know, not just napa has -- reeling from the effects. i'm hearing from people in alamo, oakley -- two people i
8:25 am
wanted to mention. they said my house is on marshland. i was on the second floor and we were bouncing around. and then bruce in sunnyvale said it was somebody trying to wake you up at 3:20 in the morning. we have a slide show set up showing photos and damage and comments from you. we'll be sending out tweets. we want to get your tweets and comments on facebook. we'll relay them to you as we get them. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you. want to turn to mark. an aftershock 8:10? >> 2.6. >> that's just 15 minutes ago. again, we're still shaking here in the bay area. >> still shaking. still trying to figure it out. his winery trip was canceled. that goes with what officials
8:26 am
are asking people it say. if you were going to try to enjoy yourself, today is to longer the day. if you have to go up there because relatives are up there, the roadways are open and you can get through but again we've seen the damage to the roadways. we have a lot of structural damage. dozen and dozens of different calls that folks are trying to get to. you talk about the wineries and why it'd be cancel. we got this new video in. we're not -- >> look at barrels. >> i remember siege -- and things being knocked over. no one's touring that winery today. they're going to be trying to figure out and assess damage. >> felt all through the wine country up there and causing significant damage. let's show you the roadways because we talk about the open roadways. that doesn't mean they've gone unscathed. we saw tom up there showing us -- >> southern tip. 1 # 1 there. where the roadway has buckled a
8:27 am
bit. this is near intersection of 29. tom but out there and he did this -- >> pretty amazing show and tell for us. >> he kneeled down to the side and the vineyard and there's a crack right there and he put his hand down t. could have kept going if his arm was longer. >> up to his shoulder laying down there. >> but at the same time cruise working there. as you see, that traffic is rolling through. i'm still not sure why they're letting traffic. it's a main -- but eventually as tom was saying the crews are going to have to shot that roadway down as they do extensive work on that road. >> they were doing the jackhammer -- they're doing the best they can to make sure it's safe and work on some of the other reerps as they go. >> this just crossed -- from
8:28 am
bart. bart inspected rails as it says after any earthquake. found no damage. it did open at 8:00 a.m. on sunday. >> that's important because we also have levy stadium an we know ace train service will not be happening. we know that we're just hearing they're telling me cal train is happening. that's good news. we saw the first game there were some traffic issues. so if you were planning on taking ace train you need to make new plans and maybe give yourself a little or a lot of extra time to get down there. >> that's down south and then you've got the raceway. in the heart of this epicenter in that the race will go on as schedule. i don't know the time that race was supposed to go off. it's supposed to go on many the track there was fine. and everything's good to go there. >> let's tell you what happened this morning while you were still, you know, trying to figure out what was going on. chp went own and did visual
8:29 am
inspections. >> look at the shot of the old bridge. and then look at the new bridge of the western or eastern span. it's just a good picture. because you understand now why we built that new span. >> and why they wanted to get it open and traffic moving along just fine. and we do not have any problems or knife bridges across the pay area. there's the golden gate bridge looking just fine. people moving through the area. as normal. they've done an visual ex-- they've been calling in. letting them know if they see problems. when they hear about a problem, they check it out. if it requires more attention like the one we saw on 21 they called on cal trains to take a look. one more before we move on and go to mark, i'll give you a quick update on numbers in terms of this earthquake. 87 at least people injured. two adults one child critically
8:30 am
injured. we do have two evacuation centerings open. we have fires. >> mobile homes destroyed a. dozen damaged in that fire. more damaged structurally because the earthquake. that's in napa. >> everyone still scrambling trying to deal with all the aftermath. let's go to mark with more on this. he's been with us since we've been on air. >> yeah. and we've been tracking the aftershock consequence as well. most after shock -- unfortunately we could have the possibility at least of having a magnitude five or so over the next few days. so far in mostly the magnitude 4 range. see that many cog up right now. the magnitude 6.0. here is the aftershock list coming up right now. i'll bring it up for you. as you can seal -- the first
8:31 am
one as 5:01. 2.5. there's a strongest one. that was a magnitude 3.6 this morning. most recent one, that was at 8:10 this morning. that was a mag any tide # pn 6. this will continue to build throughout today and over the next few days and over the next week. here's the intensity shaking and very well define. basically in this whole area, tending -- and here's another look at the u.s. gs did you feel it map. you can log on to webless. website. report when you fell -- we started this morning. we had 500 responses. this -- i just imported into the weather community. it's showing up. why aren't we seeing more yellow in this region to indicate the strong shaking with the camera shots this no
8:32 am
longer and finally someone reported it. this is basically the experiences of people experience in this morning with that manager any attitude 6-0 quake. wide spread across the bay area. typically we talk -- we're talking about a minor quake, maybe a late quake but today, that magnitude 6-0. that's a strong qoak and that attitude may change a bit. going between a 6 .0 and 6.1. and we'll continue to keep an eye on the activity all day lock. >> real quick, we vp had a strong earthquake in 25 years. the next one -- does it mean that it easies the tension on the other main -- or still just as strong that they will will have a strong earthquake. >> it'll probably be
8:33 am
reassessed. i'm still thinking they're going to have the high odds of a very -- it's overdue. that's the key concern. just keep in mind they had a earthquake in the same area back in september of 2000 so nearly 14 years ago and a magnitude 5 range. historically this area has approximate picked up significantly area and once again this morning. >> thanks. mark, appreciate it. we've been talking about the mobile home par fire. water main had busted so they couldn't hook on to the hydrants. they want to evacuation mode. eric salve individual has been through the the morning. what's the latest out there? >> reporter: well, gong to you, mike. i want to point out this fire, a huge fire in mobile home community and these ho embelliss are still smoldering. as many as a five. four of them were destroyed this morning. this fire was triggered by
8:34 am
ruptured gas lines. that's obviously what they believe out here. one neighbor bus -- they came out of their home after the earthquake and they they could see the gas line next to one of these mobile homes and it was spewing fire in the words of one homeowner. i want to bring in captain becker. talk to me about the challenge you face when you first got here this morning. >> we were enrapt to a different call and two columns of tark spoke and a glow at the base. a working fire. and when we entered the park, we noticed there was a significant water main break right at the entrance. we knew we were going to be hampered. with no matter, pretty much the extent of our actions. we divided up and got everybody out of houses. at that point, put a plan
8:35 am
together. we were able to contain it to three involved units in this area and another engine company help with the other. >> with a fire that's being fed by a ruptured gas line, obviously something like that can spread so easily. you didn't have much wind this morning. that helps quite a bit. >> that was a tremendous factor. no wind was a tremendous factor to keeping the fire contained to what we have. >> all right. are you maze -- you do believe that everybody made it out, no serious injuries here in the mobile home community? >> at this point we have confirmed that of the four units, there was all -- all the occupants are accounted for. we're very grateful for. beyond that, there were no other injuries that were sustained in the injury. this incident within the earthquake. >> all right. you were just telling me the captain was that -- now that this fire is under control, obviously a few hot spots to key an -- but it's under
8:36 am
control. now the next step here is to leave this scene and then go work on some other issues around the satisfy of napa of which there are many. can you talk about where you might be headed? >> as far as within the city, they're still discovering gas main and water main breaks. to the extent i'm not sure, but our dispatch center and command -- emergency operation center has been extremely busy. we're going to get back into the fight. >> thank you so much. beck we are the napa fire department. >> they have is -- this problem contained really but now it's on to the next problem. emergencies that need to be dealt with all around the city of napa. getting reports of dang to homes and so these firefighters know they have the fire under control. find the next issue here and
8:37 am
help some other folks in other areas. the good news is everybody made it out alive. ruptured gas lines. it tore through and destroyed four mobile homes and about eight others were dadged. erin made it out. a lot of thankful folks this morning. back to you guys in the studio. >> all right. thank you for that update. appreciate that report. >> and we talked about the usgs they've been going back. 6.0, 6.1. now upgraded. >> that could change again as mark just mentioned. not set in stone. but upgraded to 6.1. >> now to eric rasmussen. downtown napa with a look at the situation there. eric? >> just a stone throw away from the city haul and right outside the hotel showing you that because guested from the hotel sometime after the quake hit this hurricane warning
8:38 am
moselyment some of them with their suitcases here. they were a number of more people just minutes ago got on this black shuttle bus here. many of theme are here for the race that's happening this afternoon. and many people from out of town trk, of course, who aren't it entirely familiar with an earthquake and a lot of people even residents here shake issue by this mnl quake. 6.1 now they're saying. we talked to somebody who was on up on the fourth floor of this hotel early this morning when the quake hit. she was in the bathroom and license plated to what she had to say. >> the force of the play threw me off the -- at the same time the mirror was breaking up and flying every direction. so there were glass fragments everywhere. >> what was going through your mind at that time? >> well, you know, at first you're just thinking o.k. t. this is -- an earthquake. and how much worse is it going
8:39 am
to get? we were talking about a lot of the folks that were staying at the hotel. done some wine tasting. never expected they'd go home with that story to tell. and you see some more debris from the building on the sidewalk here on first street. again we didn't hear of anybody seriously injured in the hotel. although they say it was scary. large plasma tvs on the walls that came down. large pieces of furniture. another couple from it nashville. it was a chaotic scene inside the hotel after this earthquake hit. many of them didn't have individual transportation. therm down -- waiting for a ride and now they'll have to figure out what to do with the rest of their time here in napa. >> pretty dramatic there at this hotel. peopling getting thrown off toilets. that's what happens when you have a 6' 1'' ?rch h -- you
8:40 am
don't expect it ever but certainly when you are spowpped sleep. >> just gave an update. 30,000 customers now out if. doesn't exactly is have a breakdown of where they are but -- >> we heard a lot of -- the napa people saying it looks like people in -- they told us -- the viewers center to have power. looking a little bit more north for those power outages but again, pg & e. we heard warnings to watch out for down power lines or anything that may be the area. we're still in assessing the damage. there could be a lot of unsecure scenes. so be very careful. >> the first place where if you didn't -- weren't with us earlier, eric rasmussen moved but he was ornlly down at third and brown in downtown and the damage he was showing us there -- there seems to be a lot of
8:41 am
historic buildings. one -- there since 1875. the old county court house. so again a lot of bricks are coming down and that's what napa downtown is. not all of it, but a good portion of it is the classic structures that have been damaged. >> some of the -- some of it just see some bricks. we have seen soom dramatic -- so there a big safety issue with those situations. let's go back to mark. we talked about this upgrade of the 6.1 in terms of going back and forth. try to figure this all out. >> it was reported as a 5.7. it's tboap back and fourth to a 6.1 to a 6.0 and back to 6.1. it depends on where you are. around the epicenter that strong freight train shaking but south is more described like a rolling motion. it lasted for quite some time.
8:42 am
once again, updated the maps to the reflect the change. a 6.1 but the aftershock remains unchanged. 2.6. the strongest one was 6:00 hour at 5:47. this is the shake map. wide spread shaking on this map. take a closer look at this and you will see out toward sacramento. reports of some light shaking here. for san san jose. as you would expect. that's that yellow contour. right around the epicenter by center. that -- right around the epicenter. the main shock that happened at 3:20 this morning. we talk about the san andres but todayer more about the west napa fault. near this fault responsible for producing the quake about 14
8:43 am
years ago magnitude 5 range in september of 2000. it runs from the north of valao to yonkville. it's about -- to the northwest of american canyon. as far as the depth, we talk about the magnitude and depth. here we go with the scale here. a deep quake is 10-mile a. very deep quake very wide spread but what we had to do was relatively close to an average quake depth. that center just about 6-miles. just in that average range just about 7 mill miles. unfortunately that could be changing and we'll keep an eye on that. >> thank you, mark. should also notice something across the air. president obama has been briefed by homeland security on the 6.1 quake. >> all right. we want to turn out to 8:43
8:44 am
monitoring social media for certainly a lot of people reacting; right? >> a lot of cleanup going on this morning. let's take a look at this one. star bucks in american canyon, this one coming from nancy. a lot of cleanup again on here. something to keep in behind if you are thinking about getting out. show you this picture here of dan -- this one from facebook. chad showing us his garage it looks like to me sm his motorcycle toppled over. maybe a big tool set. so that looks like it could be very costly as well. one more shot. this one coming in from kayla a few hours ago and this apparently her bathroom. and you can see a lot of stuff just dumped out on to the floor. we've received a lot of pictures. some minor, some major but
8:45 am
again, it helpstous tell the story and just how large this impact is. so keep them coming. i'll continue to post. back to you. >> all right. thank you. right now we're going to go back to the newsroom. dave clark in there. dave? >> yeah. aisle going to pick up on what you just mentioned. president obama has now been briefed and been updated on the quake by the department of homeland security. he's getting all the latest information. we're waiting to see how he will respond, how the obama administration will respond. want to give you a full screen look of what has been set up in napa. napa high school. 2475 jennifer so many street. also grace church of napa valley at 3765salano mafn. >> just brief overview of some of other things.
8:46 am
mike mentioned about 30,000 comaries lost power. pg & e crews are trying to get the power back. we're hearing from people all over the area. this is the not just contained to napa but that's our focus. i just heard from shelly moore. she said it felt like lots of twisting and turning. n herrick -- get more information on what has been happening in that earthquake and you can also tweet us. we'd like it hear from you on your personal story of what's been happening with you. we'll billion treating out information as well the latest information of what is happening. live in the news room. back to you. >> thank you very much. getting an update from six flags discovery king come the park is not or power outages
8:47 am
from the earthquake. it also says that all the animals were checked out and they seem to be fine and the park will be open as schedule today. >> where they shutdown that offramp earlier this morning. that's right near the park. so when you talk about how close it was to the area that was shaking, very close there. again, these are pictures from 121 which is not far as well from that area and you can see the buckling there. few you have any question of how hard, shaky enough to leave that big crack. he actually stuck his hand into the crack. off that highway and into a nearby vineyard. and he put his arm all the way down there and still didn't touch the bottom. he went about 6, 8, 10 feet. sent us more video that hopefully we can get on for you soon. the highway buckling.
8:48 am
they are getting lots of reports that there are 121, 29 where they are seeing significant cracks. major roadway damage. it's the major roadway damage that we are certainly most focused on for people driving in and around the area. although we should say that none are closed. >> that's what happens. have the roadway damage. as -- that 121 probably going to be shutdown later today if not in the future. so they can prepare the roadway there. something else? >> we just got word from cal train. cal train is holding trains right now because of the quake within 50 miles. all freezing rains are being held while the tracks are being inspected. they're checking the structure, they're checking the signal system. cal train putting trains on hold while they inspect the trains, the tracks and the system. that is the very latest.
8:49 am
that came in moments ago and we'll give you more information as we get it but again, if you're concerned f you're using cal train, expect delays because they're putting everything on hold to check everything out because of this morning's earthquake. >> that is important. especially for folks along the peninsula. >> and also warning that for tomorrow morning's commute, there may be some rejid yule delays. if they find nothing. but there may be some delays tomorrow morning. >> just good for everybody to be aware and ace train also saying no niner game service for them. that game starting just hours from now. it's good for everyone to be aware. thanks. reporting for us. >> queen of the valley medical center, one of the bigger areas in napa took 87 patients. one pediatric. that pediatric patient was
8:50 am
injured due to a chimney that collapsed. no john fowler was out. there they rolled a -- or maybe to ucf. >> a lot of people call them the walking wounded. nothing -- most of them cuts and bruises. we want to go down and talk about the roadway to tom. we showed you some pictures a little earlier here on our newscast. they were pretty dramatic from over there. this news chopper was over the area. you could see the roadway was kind of cranked all the way through. >> the water main was coming up. >> that's where tom is now and show us what the situation out there. tom? >> down on the ground the situation is the main has broken and water is flowing down the street where the road there has buckled substantially. and as a result a lot of the
8:51 am
utilities have been damaged. how much, we don't know. the business on white cliff circle is serious. they're going to have to fix this big break which continues to leak water out. there is a crew out taking some sampling. what's -- pg & e crews. because those cars -- some of them are destroyed at this point in time and that is not
8:52 am
more than a mile or so away from here. so as a result it's fair so say that napa has taken the brunt of this hit from the waves. one thing i do want to mention though it is a tribe to earthquake -- while these houses are sitting right around this terrible damage, they themselves appear to be not structural damaged at all. some broken pots and things like that but no big cracks in the stucco. that may show up lair but it's fascinating. they've worked very well. white cliff circle, twin oaks, big problems. leaking water mains and a lot of people wondering when this thing is going to get back to normal. it'll be no time soon. >> i was going to ask you if you saw some structural damage beside the carport bus the actually homes. is does it look like a newer development out there? >> well this one here is probably not terribly old. the apartment complex was very
8:53 am
old, and what i noticed was where the carports had collapsed wood appeared to be rotted. as -- a tall structure that's heavy on top and a few things on bottom to hold it up, as it started to swing, that wood just broke. but most of the -- you're not siege a lot of structural damage. we saw early some broken pane glass windows but nothing that would suggest a real kind of damage to newer facilities and that's because they're built for these codes. we haven't seen much. we've seen what we've seen. we'll continue to look around. it's interesting to note how well the houses have performed. inside they're a mess but the structures themselves from the ten or 15 i can see appear to be o.k. however one guy did have some very serious damage to his hardwood floor. we whether have it find out but
8:54 am
we'll be talking to him and have his interview on later. >> look for it. thanks. right if there for us live on the phone from white cliff circumstance in the city of napa. >> you're time is 8:53. more pieces of information. there is that post office building. maybe a little bit. >> the window that popped out. >> one in napa. damage but pearchtly some homeless folks sleeping in and around that building. they were hit by debris. we hope they're o.k. we're also waiting for this 9 a.m. city briefing. at city hall. we're going to bring it to you live. 5, 6 minutes. keeping an eye on this situation. we're going to bring you in just a minute. just if you're joining us
8:55 am
will there at the hospital or where they're being transported to. going to a trauma center. there is some news chopper two shots. that was set up soon after the earthquake. you can see an individual being placed in there. i know there were chairs set up outside and they tag you with colors to the extent of your injuries. minor, moderate and triage you. everything up and running and john fowl her was out there and a-- which is a fantastic sign and because hospitals practice because we're in earthquake country. john joining us live. john? >> thanks. we just got an update. take a look at some video.
8:56 am
what you'll be looking at here is a sheet held up by the paramedic crews to help keep the privacy of a child. not certain which facility it is. likely children's hospitalling however. what we have learned about this child is that he or she was injured when a chimney fell during the earthquake. this is what happened -- you recall 14 years ago in napa when the 5.2 earthquake hit. apples injured a -- that child subsequently died. there are 89 patients. two here remain in critical condition. that third critical patient was -- when the thing -- one of things that we learned was there is damage inside this hospital. we talked to a witness who was in the hospital during the earthquake. he said the beds jumped up and
8:57 am
down a foot and things rattled, glass broke, ceiling tiles fell down and a number of other serious problems including flooding on the floors. we talked to the ceo about that, and he said that the hospital indeed did suffer damage but nothing got in the way of the care. just about two hours -- about three hours they he give lent to an entire day's worth of patients here about 89 patients. most of them with -- minor cuts and produces. they did have one heart attack and as i said, the two critically injured patients remain here. one with multiple fractures. at the moment, it appears that the number of patients coming here has dwindled. it's significantly dropped off.
8:58 am
so hopefully it might be a good sign that most of the injured are taken care of. the fire chief told us that as people return to their homes, there may be more injuries injuries here -- most common one coo rgt to the ceo was injuries to the feet of people who werewalking on early morning broken glass in their homes. [ captioner transitioning ]
8:59 am
fo . >> really working double time, overtime and we know there are people out there waiting for help. there is also a lot of assessment going on. six flags are in the epicenter of the earthquake and they say the park is going under thorough inspection and the park has not sustained any damage or power outages from the earthquake. the park will open as originally scheduled. people have been advised not to head to napa. but i will tend to see peopling
9:00 am
head up there and we have the raceway and that is happening. >> we talked about the briefing coming from just outside napa that is expected at any second. in the meantime i should say that the structuring integrity and this is a question that we will find out during the briefing on one building, the windship building, the whole block that building sits on, the integrity is in question. that is one question we will get answered hopefully. >> in the meantime while we wait, we will go out to dave clark in our newsroom. >> i just talked cal train. they are inspecting the northern system and they are on
9:01 am
hold but they figured the southern section out of san jose and they have cleared the bridges between san francisco and redwood city so they are making progress and planning to run the train to the 49ers game so that is the late for cal tran and the northern portion, they are on home and southern portion of san jose is cleared and they do plan to run the special trans to the 49ers. >> thanks for that latest information. we should notice everything was checked and tweeted all bridges are fine. >> rosemary. >> we have countless photos from folks, minor spills and thank you from this one from
9:02 am
jody holiday. earthquake damage at safe way in vallejo. minor damage and some imagine and this is coming from randy deeson. this next to the crack and buckle of the roadway and multiple others in all directions of highway 12. here is another vantage point. claudia and mike talking about the huge gap, several inches wide so that coming from randy deeson. this one during the overnight and this one of course, napa firefighters working hard on extinguishing mobile home park fire and you know again you take a look at the photo and it breaks your heart for these folks. the firefighters trying to spare this home. fire out of the top and in the overnight hours. it may have fire outside of the home and on the back side but some folks definitely hit hard
9:03 am
by this. we do appreciate your photos. send them to us facebook and twitter and i will continue to post. back to you. >> coming up on six hours. i haven't asked you how did it feel at your home? morning. >> it was rocky. it jolted me awake and i sat there for a while not reacting for a while. thinking this is a pretty good shakier, a pretty good one and picked up the phone and i think it barely stopped shaking when i was on the phone with the newsroom. this conference, this is the flow of information. i was 10 or 15 miles from that epicenter, i didn't feel as violent. maybe it was when it woke me up. it felt to me and mark talked
9:04 am
about this, about that release of energy, like a shuttering like the earth was trying to release something. >> i was in san rafel and i didn't feel the jolting that a lot people felt. you could have been in san jose and may have slept through it. people i know slept through it. mark, how do you feel about the pictures we have been seeing and the earthquake. >> the damage, when daylight comes and we get a better perspective, the 6.1, we would produce that much of an impact. depends on what you felt. if you were south of it closer to san francisco and morin county, probably more of that rolling effect for 10 to 15
9:05 am
seconds and towards the epicenter and american canyon and around vallejo, you get that freight train shaking. here is the tracker, exaggerated a bit, the yellow dots are after shocks. 1.20 magnitude. i will slide above it, 2.5, dealing with a magnitude of 2.5 and the activity for this part of the region. on the usgs web site, they give you the longitude coordinates. it was to the west of millton road and that was the main shock that occurred at 3:20 at 6.1. it was in this immediate area and the effects, a lot more widespread and as you have more building, the effects more normal towards napa and vallejo and american canyon as well. we have been watching the after shock and following the main shock which hasn't bummed up to
9:06 am
6.1. at 8:10, 2.6 this morning and as far as the earthquake, this is the incident intensity. >> mark. we have to interrupt you, we have this press conference starting and let's go to napa because the press conference is getting under way and let's listen in. >> i would like to turn it to our city manager, mike parnes. >> randolph and my name is mike pa r-n-e-s-s. just wanted to announce that in response to the emergency that occurred this -- early this morning, we have activated our emergency operation center and effective at 7:59, we declared a local
9:07 am
emergency. the county, i believe is taking similar action. we have brought in all available forces and the work force to come in to assess damage, provide services and the work is under way and we are busy now surveying all of the various complaints that we have received and establishing priorities. we have brought a number of resources in this morning to talk to you. why don't i introduce john callahan with the fire department and handling the operations this morning. he can explain what we are doing in terms of responses and then we have some of the other technical support from police, public works, and other departments, if you have questions. >> what is the separation, the emergency separation mean for you? what do you assess for that? >> the declaration states that we have an emergency. it means that we have exhausted
9:08 am
our local resources. we need more help than we can -- from the outside. we are asking the governor, both the county and the city are asking the governor to declare a state emergency so we can accessory sources through the state office of emergency services and perhaps beyond. so it is a declaration to determine that we need help and that it is serious. we will be submitting with that declaration, an itemized list of damages within the next couple of hours. >> did the governor supply you with that? >> we have not had communication, we made the declaration about an hour ago. we expect that will occur in the future. >> john. >> good morning, john c-a-l-l-a- h-a-n. the earthquake occurred and multiple fires, a total of
9:09 am
six and one of those incidents involved six mobile homes together. that was one single incident. four of the six are completely damaged and the other two some damage. we are in a phase of evaluating the buildings to know what we have and where we need to place our priority resources. we have a total of four strike teams from local government, from the area that are in here helping out as was mentioned by the city manager where our resources are exhausted as far as quantity of onduty personnel. in these situations as happens state and nationally, we call in outside resources for that help. we had in the neighborhood -- we have right about probably one hundred plus gas leaks, power lines down. medical calls are in the neighborhood of about 80 plus at this time. the valley hospital has been inundated with patients, all
9:10 am
related to the trauma related incidents after the earthquake. one major incident of fire falling on a young child, a young person, in critical condition and has been flown out for a neuro center. our crews again -- we are trying to catch up with the calls. we have a significant backlog of calls. we also have additional resources from the california office of emergency services on hand, local fire agencies with rescue crews, specialized urban search and rescue crews are in route here plus some that are physically in town now. that's about all i have. public works director will come up and talk about the infrastructure and go from there. (inaudible). >> i'm sorry. i do not know the age.
9:11 am
(inaudible). >> the operations chief. the napa fire department. >> is that the only serious physical injury? >> two other criticals that i'm aware over and i don't know the exact nature of them. i'm going to assume this is all trauma related injuries from falling debris, etc. >> anybody missing? >> we have no reports of anybody missing at this time. >> do you feel the danger has passed as far as -- can you identify -- >> i'm sorry, can you repeat that. >> have you identified all of the gas leaks and power lines down, do you feel that danger has passed? >> no, i believe we are still getting calls. pg&e is working with us closely to identify any known leaks but as people come home and get up and moving, that's when we are starting to get more calls. zigly, we haven't seen any after shocks of significance. we have had some.
9:12 am
i understand two of them in the 3 point something range but they are anticipating in the range of five plus for after shocks. and i haven't felt them yet. >> chief, a lot of people out there looking at the buildings and especially downtown where there is some rubble, any word to them about the danger of getting too close? >> yes, please stay away. we have done our best and we are still working on isolating those areas and taping them off. we have tried our best to close down town and those areas and buildings that are obviously damaged. we have teams of inspectors, building inspectors, the public works director that will get to that will go out and evaluate those items. stay away from the buildings that look like they are leaning. >> what is your recommendation for people for shelter. >> shelter at napa high school and go to a friend, go a
9:13 am
friend's place. if you don't smell gas, you are probably safe. >> can you give us any idea when power will be restored any focus for when pg&e will take how long? >> no idea. >> the building officials, how many overall structures? >> we are in the middle of assessment, i will let the public works director speak to this and the status of the buildings. >> what about the mobile homes, you said two were destroyed. >> six. another incident there was a fire home at a mobile home destroyed separate mobile home park. i will let jack la row come up.
9:14 am
>> hello. jack l-a-r-o-c-h-e-l-l-e public works director. i do wanted to say that the reports on the gas leaks that we have gotten, a lot of records and pg&e is chasing them down. we don't know the actual numbers. my understanding that they have crews working on that as diligently as possible. the big thing that we are working at from infrastructure public works standpoint is the water main system. there has been a reported -- about 30 water main leaks or breaks. a lot of them in the browns valley area, west of town. that's to be expected. that's geologic area. more sa acceptable to damage. have our crews trying to isolate the leaks and shut off of the water to those areas as
9:15 am
quickly as possible. now, to provide water flow and volume, we have opened the water plant at hennessy so we have two feeds one from the south and one from the north. the water plants were fine and not damaged, that's the good news, the upside so we are feeding water, the tank levels did start going down right after earthquake so those had been stabilized and starting to come back up when we were able to get our other plant in operation. the first issue is getting the water on as quickly as possible. the water is safe to drink. i can say that and what we're doing afterwards, after we do that part of the work is then we have to set out a set of assessment teams to assess the damage. my understanding is that there
9:16 am
is road buckling issues but nothing as far as any catastrophic issues. we do have a team of folks for structural issues. they are inspectors and we will get those people to assess properties. we are doing that right now. we don't know how many they are and the extent of the damages but when we find something that is problematic. we will red tag it and tell folks not to be around the building for safety purposes. we don't know yet. as soon as we will get that we will make it available. >> it seems like there will be
9:17 am
200 or more structures that have been damaged. can you give us a feel right now. >> that's speculation, you can see downtown to the older buildings. but we just don't know yet. >> can you talk about (inaudible) were they retrofitted. i know it is early but anything along those lines? >> i can't tell you. rick, if you want to talk about that. rick tooker is our -- in charge of planning. >> right t-o-o-p-e-r we are assessing and don't have numbers to tell you at this point in time. the number that we have red tagged, we are trying to make certain we have people on the street identifying the
9:18 am
buildings as quickly as we can and starting from the center and where the older structures are. with regard to the reinforcement, most of our buildings in the downtown, our older buildings have been reinforced, we have a small handful that have not. whether or not those are the ones connected to work that has been done or not, we are not able to say at this point in time, we need to collect the information and get it out to you correctly rather than make assumptions. >> city manager or -- okay. representative from the police. (inaudible(. >> rick. >> (inaudible). >> they varied.
9:19 am
there have been improvements made to the buildings over time and some as recently, completed as recently as the last 18 months and others several years ago. it varies. >> is it a requirement? >> yes. >> what was the deadline? >> the deadline has come -- it has come and go so as a result those very few that have not completed the reinforcement, we have been actively pursuing that by working with them. like i say, i don't want to draw a concluding to any of those structures relative to anything. we don't have the data. >> who are you? >> i'm the community development director. >> steve p-o-t-t-e-r the police department operations there. our 911 system and all public law enforcement safety systems are operating as normal and
9:20 am
enhanced because of this event. we have relative calm in the community because of the, i think a lot of that had to deal with the overwhelming response that we had from 911 staff and police officers that came in without having to be called in. with that said, we are working with security in the downtown area. some of the shopping centers. we are having -- we will have for several days a high police presence. and that's to provide service to and assistance to the citizens of town and as well as the business owners. right now we have some street closures from saspa lavenue to jefferson and from third street to main and a lot of due to the broken glass downtown and the damage to the buildings so the potential for further damage to take place. the napa sheriff's department is taking care of security at the courthouses as well as the
9:21 am
county administrative buildings and at the department of corrections. we are thankful for the community and have received a lot of donations as far as lumber to board up windows so that makes our job easier. responding to alarm calls. when the buildings are secured it helps us to provide security to the buildings. >> how many 911 calls have you received? >> i have no idea but the system was maxed out for a short time which is typical. we had an earthquake, about 5.2 at that point and we went through that. it wakes people up and they call. >> what was the chief emergency for people reporting earthquakes? >> there was gas leak issues and fires. a hos of things that people were talking about. >> anything about the windows
9:22 am
and doors falling off by officers down there checking out a store concerns about people checking on that thing? >> we have had relative calm for this earthquake and those donations that we received that they are boarding up the windows. we are trying to get the owners to come in and to assess and secure their buildings as quickly as possible but no reports of lewding. >> inaudible question). >> come on up and check on your reservations and wineries. a lot of the businesses will be normal. that is not to take anything away from the residents and businesses but it will be business as normal. we just ask that they stay out of the dangerous areas where
9:23 am
there is broken glass brick and mortar where they might get hurt. no other questions, i will go to city manager mike parness. >> point of clarification before we close. when we say that there have been 100 gas leaks. those are from people that are worried about gas and not necessarily that we have verified that pipelines are leaking or there is a hazard. when we receive that call we check it out. they are calls and not verified leaks. we know the conditions are evolving quickly. we will do these briefings on a regular basis. we will come back around noon. so about every 3 hours until things slow down and we should have more information and give you more detail in terms of the numbers and what is happening. in the meantime for people to
9:24 am
receive more information anybody can take a look at our web site at city of napa.org and we have a web site providing data and details about what is happening and also the city's public information office steve martin 258-7804, that's extension 18 -- what did i say? say the last four numbers. >> 7804. >> someone is writing this in hieroglyphics. >> it looks like they are -- still working outside some of those details. >> napa city manager wrapping up the news conference where we learned a lot of new information which is nice and a
9:25 am
couple of highlights that mike parness it is said, they have the operations department open and napa did declare a local emergency. what does that mean? >> we have ex caused the resources. we need help here in the city of napa and they are asking the state to bring that help. >> when they have these, the best part is that they are looking for flow of information and getting as much information to the folks so we heard from power and pg&e. we have urban search and rescue teams. what the focus is on the reports that there is some partial closed buildings and people can't get out. they are looking to see if anybody is in trouble to get the people out if they are stuck. >> no reports of anyone missing but bringing the teams in. your right. >> and we have reports from the fire department, they have been
9:26 am
busy, the latest numbers they gave us was the six homes that were damaged by fire. four from the mobile home park and mostly in that one area. four strike teams and a backlog of calls and evaluating the buildings so this is a long drawn out process as they try to figure out the situation that they are dealing with. >> napa police saying the 911 system is operating, overwhelmed and fine and everything is good in case other emergencies pop up, it is fine to call 911 and pg&e reporting 30,000 customers and napa and sonoma and napa public works, areas out of service. and geologically and trying to assess the leaks. >> 90 people going to the
9:27 am
valley medical center. we have information. we saw the helicopter that john faller was talking about. we know a child was critically injured. three critical injures and a child hit by a falling chimney and that child flown to a neuro center so they wanted to get that child out of queen's valley to a special lift to address the issues that the child received. >> these are some of highlights. tom baker. i apologize, i am not sure where you are. >> i'm at white cliffs and twin oaks and that is where helicopter copter 2 is and one of the homeowners houses looks great on the outside but on the inside destroyed. it has moved five inches away from the patio. the building code worked because the house did not collapse but major damage to
9:28 am
this particular home that suggests that there is major damage but nothing collapsed. one of the things i am observing and observed this in other earthquakes. we are in the euphoria stage. the people that have gone through that are in a sense of euphoria. i have survived. we can replace this, etc., etc. here is what happens though. eventually you go into the reality and sadness phase and if you don't get the work done right away you go into despair. we are in phase one where people are standing around looking and saying we survived it, it is not so bad but when the financial realities and some of the other realities but not having earthquake insurance and most people don't have because it is not a good deal sets in, you will see some very different kinds of things but i can tell you in this neighborhood, a lot of damage.
9:29 am
this water that leaks out of the ground. they will have to get that out because while that water is coming up. some of that is brown and eroding the ground underneath and at some point in time that could turn into a sinkhole better for the water department to get it fixed or you could have a significant sinkhole problem in the middle of the cul-de-sac and that is the situation from white cliffs. >> news copter 2 giving us the live pictures. if you don't know white cliff circle, if you are driving 29, if you know the area north and you go to the downtown area, you got downtown our right side, on the west side is what is nope as brown valley area and road and takes you to white cliff circle and that is where tom baker and alex is as well. >> we have a lot of the focus of the damage they talked with
9:30 am
about if you're not familiar with this area you will see the water main leaks and the service for gas leaks. we want to go to alex and figure out what the situation where he is and it looks like the carport did not survive the earthquake. good morning to you guys. dramatic scene here on browns valley road, this is the charter oaks apartment complex and you can see the damage. the pictures speak for themselves. one of three carports that collapsed this monk following the earthquake. we don't know how many cars were damaged when they collapsed but a dozen or so. i want to bring in rachel ellis. that gold suv is yours. >> yes. >> you woke up and you told me
9:31 am
you felt the quake and looked outside and before the carport collapsed. what did it look like when it went down? >> i walked outside of my house and standing at the top of my stairs of my apartment and the earthquake stopped and i saw the whole roof of the carport collapsed and it was loud. you could hear it cracking and just a big boom and landed on these cars and one is my vehicle which hopefully we can get out soon because that's my only vehicle but my father, carl luxingger was nice enough to lep me his vehicle. >> you got help from folk? >> yes. >> was it a feeling of disbelief when you saw it? >> yes. it was a shocker to witness the carport fell but family is important first so i was worried about getting my family out of the house. >> and as you point out that is
9:32 am
obviously the number one concern making everyone is okay. you said everybody in your family and this apartment complex are doing okay. you can see my photographer, jason is panning over. these are the other two carports that just came down entirely. they crumbled down on at least a dozen or so cars. they will have quite a bit of damage and the folks that live in this complex assisting how many damage was done and people obviously upset that the cars were crushed here this morning at this apartment complex but everyone very thankful that no one was hurt and no one inside any of these cars. live this morning in napa. ktvu channel 2 news. alex, thank you for that report. appreciate it. we have been talking about the roadways, 121 and sal what is
9:33 am
happening. >> i got off of the phone and i have not heard that race is canceled. there is buckling, highway 37. the roads have been opened even though there is traffic control but they are urging you if you are looking this is not the day, if you are trying to taste wine as silly as that sounds you may be waking up, today is not the day to go to those roads. chpd is asking you to stay away from the area unless you have to go. if you are going to the race, so far we know the race has not been canceled and the roads are opened. i want to mention train service because i got word that train service on amtrak has been temporarily shut down until further notice from roseville from san jose. let's look at the bridges. chp has done not one but two complete checks of the span and they report everything good. the bridges were retrofitted
9:34 am
recently to withstand major quakes, open and running and san mateo bridge and bay bridge, we can go there right now, a brand new structure and designed to roll with the quake and performing as designed and it is open and things are doing very well. let's go to one more thing the golden quake bridge and morin county, been reading the tweets and been checking with authorities morin looks good and the traffic on the golden gate bridge. governor jerry brown according to the office of emergency services just came up on twitter. has declared a state of emergency. mike and claudine, back to you. >> sal, two major events, sonoma and the 9ers, anymore updates on any of the traffic patterns down there in terms of -- i mean obviously it is not in the area but we know vta
9:35 am
affected. >> the 49ers have tweeted something. and let me just read it from my screen here. in terms of servicing the stadium, a 49er tweet all tracks have been tracked down within a 100-mile radius until further notice, therefore affecting the capital corridor, 750 fans and 49ers are in communication with the agencies, cal tran and vta are operating as scheduled and we have confirmed that. you can get it on cal tran and v ta, this is a look at san jose airport and there's the stadium, if you are going to the game and taking cal tran and vta, that's good. if you have to drive get on the road now, you will have more friends coming down to this game even though it is a preseason game and expected to be well attended so please get on the road but my money is on taking cal tran, that would be a good way to go.
9:36 am
>> we can see that one plane lining up and ken sent in information. ken is a pilot and he says that control tower at napa airport is closed because of possible damage but the airport is opened but not air traffic control. possible damage to the control tower. you think about the indy racers, they tend to fly in there and they may be looking for another spot. they don't have atc. >> just keeps rolling through and you may have not expected some impacts like that. mark, we want to go to you and we kind of keep going back and forth and keep having this discussion in the studio. 6.1, 6.0 and keeps going back and forth and we have both numbers because usgs is having trouble deciding. >> that's normal. not trouble, just basically analyzing the data and it will move a bit over the next few hours. so right now the latest on the
9:37 am
web site. 6.5 magnitude but that will likely change and now to clay it went to a 61 and now to a 60. you can see a few after shocks. the main one at 320 this morning. the most recent after shock at least 2.5 or above, that was at 8:10 and the strongest at 5:47 a magnitude 3.6. in terms of earthquake after shocks probability not a forecast but a statement issued by the usgs, there is a five percent chance of a quickly equal to or larger and 54% of a magnitude earthquake in the next seven days and 30 to 70 after shocks this is based on probabilities, not a forecast but issuing with this quake that happened this morning. in terms of the shaking, this
9:38 am
was the intensity with the instrument intensity and look at the yellows, very well defined and, of course, this quake was felt across the entire bay area. a good portion of northern california and the very intense shaking and strong shaking towards vallejo and american canyon and napa and parts of sonoma county as well and that star is the epicenter. we are familiar with the san hydras. this is the same fault that produced a quake back in september 2000. this has a history with earthquakes. that was the case this morning. in terms of the earthquake depth. we take a look locally. three mile depth is considered shallow and deep one is 10 miles and higho center where the energy was released 7 miles
9:39 am
below the surface and considered roughly an average depth. magnitude of the three range so far. >> mark when you talk about the five to ten percent chance of something similar, are you talking about on the same exact fault that this earthquake happened or is that five percent chance of other faults? >> it is in the same, near the same epicenter. magnitude 6. so the epicenter could raid out out, the after shock of coverage could be 10 to 20 miles away so it expand in coverage. >> thank you very much. >> 9:39, in the last 30 minutes we heard from napa saying that they declared a local state of emergency. >> yes. >> for the city and the county. now word from the governor's office. we want to go to dave clark live in the newsroom with more. >> claw din and mike, moments
9:40 am
the governor declared an emergency. you were watching live on ktvu the city of napa declared a local emergency and they asked the governor to do the same. here is a part of that request. >> in the response to this morning we have activated our emergency center and at 7:59 we declared a local emergency. >> we can confirm that governor jerry brown has declared an emergency for napa. to give you a brief overview, the city of napa responded to at least six fires and four mobile homes were completely destroyed and they have outside strike teams coming to help and gas leaks and more than 80 patients rushed to the hospital
9:41 am
for treatment, a variety of juries including a small child. a fireplace fell on top of him and he was hurt. no reports of anyone missing. there have been after shocks and we anticipate but not of significant. we are asking people to stay's what from napa for obvious reasons. the evacuation centers. two evacuation centers have been opened and one at the napa high school and the other is at the gray's church. 30 water main breaks and the plans have not been damaged. the water is safe to drink.
9:42 am
it is relatively calm with much work to be done. live in our newsroom, i'm dave clark, back to you guys. >> the 49ers say we want to say hello to our family and friends and the 49ers game will be played at 1:00. the 9ers say that engineers say no damage. >> transportation has been affected. a lot of people may be driving and you will need to give yourself from a time. social media playing a big role in the earthquake. down rosemary has more. this morning giving you a look
9:43 am
here. we have oil and bottles here spillage items. again just a lot of mess and a lot of places this morning. let's go here. you you can see a wine cellar and storage room. this will take a lot of manpower and look at this picture from tony saying this will be a long day, a hard ware store. paint cans broke open and they will deal with this for quite a while. thank you and continue to send the photos and i will continue
9:44 am
the tweets. >> we want to give you an update from the city of vallejo. damage to the downtown area and on merritt island saying -- we have seen that this morning. collapsed awnings and broken windows. five crews deployed for water main breaks and we are trying to see if the stores are targeted by people trying to take advantage of the situation. broken glass and things out there. >> aid being brought in. the city manager for napa says there has been a state of
9:45 am
emergency declared at 7:59 and the governor has issued the request and granted the state of emergency. saying they have exhausted the state resources and they got it. we did talk to the governor's office of emergency services and they had activated that. the government likes to say they are working together and figuring out who needs what. the state will offer services and that will help a lot. people need help building their homes and damage. >> there is a little jolt right there. >> that shows you how hard
9:46 am
things were shaken. >> the damage north of american canyon. vallejo as well and napa. and police department saying don't come down here. we are trying to assess the buildings. they are in the process of doing that. we have seen this in some of the live checks. as the napa police had asked, don't come down. stay away. >> yes, they are trying to do their work. sal. what do you see. >> a big 49er game and some
9:47 am
people wondering if they will go. amtrak takes you to the stadium and further north in the sacramento area. that is not an option so you may get people driving. cal tran is running. 30 minutes running. vta says their system is not impacted. if you are trying to get around the bay area, bart is running. ace train is not running. running special service and have canceled that to the 49ers game and this is because of the
9:48 am
quake. too much track to inspect. they share that with union pacific. they run the track. the other agencies lease it from them. i want to mention bridges and roadways. the bridges retrofitted recently as you know if you have been living in the bay retrofitted for this day and they are open. the bay and san mateo bridge and the new bay bridge, traffic moving well. the new span is doing just fine. i want to show you the golden gate bridge. the traffic is good. the big race today. i got off the phone with officials and the highway there
9:49 am
is open. 37 and 121, the roadways are open according to chp and the traffic is flowing. we do have traffic moving and the people want to get to the race early and so far that race is not canceled. >> we are reaching out to the oakland a's. they have a big series and we haven't heard anything. they haven't tweeted anything. we assume that game is on. we are double-checking with that. sal, are you still plugged in? >> yes. want to ask you, what did you think compared to '89? >> i was in an aircraft. i was in a plane. i didn't feel it, i saw it but this morning i was asleep and it woke me up and i thought we will have to go to work, this
9:50 am
is a big one. you feel the little ones but this one was strong. pretty strong earthquake. >> i agree you kind of knew. >> and being the geek that i am i went to my police radios and i listened to chp and obviously they have a plan so they got out to the bridges right away and checking them all. 37 was closed near the sonoma county fairgrounds and when daylight came they reopened the roads even after traffic
9:51 am
control. >> that's a difference in the communication with the social media and the social media. you talked about levi stadium, the engineers have walked around around checked it. coliseum is older but we have been heard any problems. we will monitor it to make sure that if you are headed out and you have plans the one area that they don't want you to go to is the wine country. some people were saying they don't want to stop business coming in there but. >> maybe not the immediate downtown area. >> but just don't go there to check it out. they need space to help the people that need help and they are trying to figure out who needs help. >> and mark was mentions the
9:52 am
faults and as he said there is the chance of a five to ten percent of an after shock. mark you you want to talk more about after shocks. >> not anymore about 2.5. dozens under that. but as you would expect seismic ological active. i was working on a documentary tracking the faults. you have the san mateous. we know the faults and others are older ones and some we don't talk about. but this one has produced sizeable earthquakes. look at this 2.5 activity, most
9:53 am
have been below that but the strongest one is the 3 range. usg releasing the coordinate data from the epicenter and to the west, that was the main shock area. which computer is saying 6.1. we are seeing 6.0 but it could change. here is the after shock sequence. 2.5 and the strongest one happened at 5:37 and you can log onto the web site and report what you felt and this is the report. widespread reports in the north bay where the strong shaking was and san francisco and san jose and sacramento and approaching the sierras and that's what you would expect
9:54 am
with the magnitude six quake. typically talking about a quake in the strong range, 6.0 and producing after shocks and we could have them about 10 to 20 miles away. we will keep an eye on this and have an update. >> we want to talk about the state's early emergency warning system in place. earthquake, earthquake, light shaking expected in three seconds. >> if you wanted to know what it would feel like, that is what it would feel like and apparently according to los angeles times, the system did provide that alert ten seconds before the quake was felt. >> you have to sign up for it. >> they are testing it out, not fully developed. once it is fully developed, you
9:55 am
would get a 50 second warning. we talked about the people that sat in their bed before they did anything. hopefully 50 seconds, you got a warning to get to a place of safety and 50 seconds is legitimate. they are trying to figure out if they can get it developed and in place and lawmakers trying to expand it but this is a good test to see if the people that were using this got that alert and got ten seconds before the shaking started. >> never heard it before. >> now you have. if you are joining us this morning. 9:55. we have been on for several hours. the quake hit at 3:20 and our newsroom has been a buzz of activity. let's go back through what we
9:56 am
know and show you pictures of the bay area. very common scene. vallejo and the napa area and one of the stores in which the stuff fell off of the shelves and tom baker was in the stores and seeing this kind of stuff anywhere. >> yes, windows popping out and things off of the shelves and the biggest damage so far is probably in that one mobile home park in napa. that's when it caught fire. four destroyed and six damaged and other mobile homes structurally not safe as well. and the fire department rolls up and no water because it burst and they started to evacuate and they had backup help and intense moments and downtown napa receiving quite a lot of damage from bricks falling off building and eric
9:57 am
ramas joining us from downtown napping a. eric. >> reporter: you cannot see all of the damage from the street. we are inside val's liquor store on third street. that buzzing is the shop vacuum to get the beer and wine that has spilled out on the floor. that's the owner, he has owned this for 17 years, he has been at since five this morning and this is the dent they put in the damage. he thinks they may have lost more than one hundred thousand dollars in merchandise. he was at home and the store was not opened. he comes in and the floor you can see is covered in bottles of liquor and wine.
9:58 am
>> the one thing you capital you cap -- can't tell at home is the smell. that is why they are putting things over their faces when it gets too bad. quite a site and the type of thing that they are dealing with and they shut off the vacuum. steve, do you have one more second. this is the area you have cleared out so far. >> right here and there. >> not to make you repeat yourself but what did this looks like when you came in? >> like an earthquake hit really hard. pretty much everything fell. not quite what i expected. i expected it to not be this bad and it is a lot worse than i thought it would be. i actually thought this would be okay and that those would
9:59 am
have fallen but they stayed up and this fell. >> you told me your goal is to get it opened tomorrow. >> i would like to. why would like to. i can't stay closed. it will hurt us. >> one of several business owners. and we have heard of other places, antique stores and certainly a place like this bottles that fall off of the shelves. you can see this is what will happen. back to you. >> one hundred thousand dollars worth of damage.
