complete bay area news coverage starts right now, this is ktvu channel 2 news at 5:00 p.m. napa and the bay area rocked by an earthquake 367. >> never felt this bad. >> homes are burned.

buildings destroyed and dozens injured. >> queen of the valley hospital. >> following the biggest earthquake in 25 years. >> good evening. and thank you for joining us for this two hour edition of ktvu channel 2 news. i am julie haener. >> i am frank somerville. right now authorities are in napa assessing the damage after the 6.0 earthquake. this is a live picture from news chopper 2 over downtown napa. that was one of the areas that was hardest hit. a lot of buildings suffering damage and the clean up is underway in napa and other parts of the napa valley. it hit at 3:20 a.m. this morning. 5 miles from napa between two faults systems. >> check out these pictures and you can see the power of the earthquake knocking things off store shelves. this is just as the earthquake

hit. you can see the instruments flying all over. >> and we learned more than 170 people have come to the queen of the valley medical center with injuries. officials say the child who was injure when a chimney fell on him is critically injury. one person is still there and in critical condition. officials warn more people cheap showing up because they are getting hurt while cleaning up earthquake debris. >> and state emergency officials gave us this update. 90-100 homes have now been red tagged. they are uninhabitable. dozens of aftershocks already hit with more expected and they say the national guard is on alert and stationed at local armories and we have live team

coverage on the damage and all the injuries. beginning with ktvu's ken wayne from downtown napa. one of the areas hardest hit. ken? >> reporter: well, there is damage across the city of napa, across the county of napa and beyond from this earthquake. behind me, this is the square office building at second and brown in downtown napa. you can see the roof is askew, the exterior ball is knocked out, bricks tumbled to the street. you can see all the breaks on the sidewalks. it is fortunate this happened at 3:20 a.m. in the morning and not in the middle of the day when a lot of pedestrians would have been out here. we want to show you pictures earlier today in the after math of the earthquake. showing the damage around the

city of napa. i talked to an officer, as they drove around they saw a lot of damage a lot of homes knocked off their foundation. what particularly surprised them was the number of garages where they were knocked sideways and in some cases we saw a car that had been knocked out of the garage and drifted out into the driveway. in addition to the buildings that were damaged there is lot of road damage effecting commuters who travel through the area. for more on that ktvu's tom vacar has the latest on the road damage. tom. >> reporter: there is a good reason, this, the asphalt was ripped up. if you take a look. this is what you are going to see. cracking that goes across this

cul-de-sac. this is one of many places that has this infrastructure damage, let alone what is going on underneath there. today was a biz a eday -- busy day of prioritizing emergency repairs. >> after math of the earthquake that took place at 3:20 a.m. this morning. >> we are joining a press conference. the city manager of napa talking about the situation and what is going on right now. >> we will be happy to answer questions you might have when we are done. why don't i bring up rick, rick is our community development director. and for those that were asking questions about the status of buildings that are red tagged and yellow tagged, damaged, we handed out a list of addresses and specific information on them so we can answer questions on those should you have any.

rick? >> thank you. community development director. there is a list that contains the addresses of the red tags that the city issued to date. there are 33 red tags. red tags that are because of partial collapse of materials that are falling off the building or separation of a roof. these are buildings that are unsafe to occupy. they are split between commercial and residential buildings and we issued -- we don't have the number, but of yellow tags. these are warnings that the business owners, property owners or residents should go into only to clean up, remove glass, materials, once they are cleared then they are stife occupy. the rest of the buildings that after the red or yellow tagged, there could be a presumption

that those are accessible. be smart about it, if you question something, contact us. we put up a number for contact for inspections that you can find on our website, www.cityofnappa.org. so there is information that is changing but you can get up to date on that information. tomorrow we will be meeting, 20- 30 building inspectors, engineers, going out and inspect the remaining areas we have not yet seen. we hope by tomorrow we will have done a canious of the -- canvas of the buildings. that is a summary of the building related issues. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> it is hard to know because we started in the center and worked outwards. i guess just a broad guess, we

have done about 35% of the city here. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> the list that we have provided for you, we will show you in the right hand column. the range goes from materials that are falling off. you see those in the downtown where the ribbons are backed to the parking area. stay back from those because if we have another trumbler that material could fall off. broken windows. others are full collapse. a car port that dropped to the vehicles below it. staircases that have separated from the building. we have had some structural fires as well. the range is pretty broad. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> really, it hasn't been the

case. we have seen buildings that were constructed more recently. the hotel, a hotel downtown build in 2000 -- built in 2006, had materials fall from it. and then there are older buildings that have fallen off of their foundation that are several decades old. >> [ inaudible question ] >> there are -- we have had -- i think there are 18 unreinforced main street buildings over the last 7-10 years. 12 have been reinforced. six haven't. we are in -- we are working with property owners of three of those and three we weren't and those were the ones on brown street with substantial damage. some of the buildings that were

retrofitted didn't fair as well as you would have thought even with the most recent work. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> the location of where the buildings have had problems varied. downtown. they have been out to the edge of town where you have seen fire places that have fallen away from the buildings and into the roofs of the buildings. so it -- there hasn't been a pattern of where the damage has been -- damage has been. the more visual damage are the buildings downtown that have been receiving a lot of the press. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> it is far to early to tell whether they will be salvaged or not. the first cut is to do the reboation, see what we can see -- triaged, see what we can

see, and to clean up as necessary and stay away as necessary but it isn't till we get engineers after we settled here before we can determine the reasoning some of the buildings had their problems and what to do with them from there. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> it is a combination of both. they are providing us with inspectors. between 10 and 20 inspectors and then we have our internal crews as well, building inspectors and others who will guide those unfamiliar with the city about the technical skills to do the inspections. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> that is a broad question. i can't say what expectly has

been done. -- expectly say what has been done -- specifically what has been done, i can't say. i can't say here that that has been done or it hasn't been done. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> the courthouse, a county building, the courthouse has two sides that has damage. east side has been red tagged. the west side has been yellow tagged. folks can get in there to do clean up. the intent is to get in quickly and get out quickly. it is an interesting building that it has two different circumstances associated with the tagging and its damage. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i don't have level of detail in terms of the damage. i have been focused in my

responsibilities on the properties and the buildings, i haven't connected those to the fault lines. if i could pass along -- mike? [ indiscernible ] >> one point i would like to make, not only with the support we are receiving on our inspection efforts but also with the work that we are doing on our utility work, there has been tremendous amount of cooperation from communities and the state and stepping up and coming into the city and assisting. we are really pleased. we are going to be able to move much faster than we thought. i think our public works director could give you insight on -- we told you this afternoon we are looking at the potential for having 600 water

customers without service for some period of time. he could talk about the progress we are making. we can talk about the power. we also talked about 16 to 20,000 customers with power. now it is 11 to 15,000 but we received word from pg&e they are working hard and that we should have full power restored in the community hopefully tonight and at it latest by 1:00 tomorrow. that is -- 1:00 p.m. tomorrow they should have the city back up and running with power. that is a lot of progress in one day. >> good afternoon. public works director. as mike indicated there are 600 properties that have issues with water being turned off. just to let you know, we have 5

crews that are going to be starting this evening to begin repair of that -- of those 600 homes. there is 60 locations. have of those have been isolated. they have been turned off. you still see water spewing out through the streets, and we will be taking care of those. the 5 crews will be made up of two of our own crews and three crews from other agencies. i would like to say i am so impressed with the folks in the area, the region, who have stepped up, offered to help and willing to do that. these will be city, other agency crews that do water break repairs on a regular basis. they will come with their own equipment, their own repair kits, if you will, and they will not need to be supersides.

-- supervised. we will assign them the jobs and they will get going. that is tonight. tomorrow we will have 5 crews -- 5 crews tonight and tomorrow 10 crews. as a result of that we feel we will have all 60 repairs done by wednesday, thursday of this week. which is pretty good. for those folks who need water we set up two water stations. one on freeway drive. near the outlet mall. same location that you would pick up your sand bags and a second water station that we set up at napa high school. this is a manifold we tooked on to a fire hydrant with spigots. bring your own containers and you can get water there. with respect to roads, bridges, and the like, we have inspected

every one of our bridges. the good news is that all of our bridges have seemed to responded very tuille the earthquake. if there is an issue it is the approaches, the roadway approaches that have settled but my understanding is none of them have rendered the street impassable. pretty much all streets are open. and with that, again, i want to reiterate our transmission mains are intact, which was a concern of ours but they are working fine. with that, i could answer questions. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> correct. 60 different locations which effect 600 properties. >> reporter: [ inaudible

question ] >> no. as long as they have pressure coming out of their tab, there is no problem at all. >> i will ask the fire chief if he wants to provide an update on the -- john? john. fire department. >> good afternoon. operations chief of the napa fire department. we are now in a recovery mode. all of our calls for service, we are caught up, working with pg&e, been able to mitigate all the reports of smell of gas, et cetera. as well all the power lines down, all the calls related to collapse has been mitigated.

we are about to start demobilizing units that are the mutual aid resources that came from out of the area. we had four working structure fires. one had six units involved tin in a mobile home park. the other three were isolated to residential units. no commercial buildings. i mentioned one dud involve another child that was grown out to oakland children's hospital for -- flown out to oakland children's hospital for their trauma capabilities there. we ran a total of 250 calls in that period of time. our dispatch center answered over a thousand 911 calls from this morning through midday which was inundated our center. over all everybody performed

very well. and plugging nice compliment to the state california office of emergency services. that was a good thing. only because it was last minute so i will help out with the watering locations. memorial stadium in napa. near myrtle street. the community center and then the pearl street, west of main. and other than that, the watering stations are there for the purposes mentioned. >> those are corrected locations. total of three. napa high at memorial stadium. yeah. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> correct. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> pearl street west of main.

community center, north napa, and memorial stadium, part of napa high school complex. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i do not have that number. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i do not have a ballpark number sorry. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i have not heard of any being upgraded or down graded. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> no. one child flown out to children's in oakland. >> [ inaudible question ] >> correct. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i am not sure. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> yes -- >> reporter: [ inaudible

question ] >> unrelated to the fires but related to the earthquake event. >> [ inaudible question ] >> well, after the earthquake occurred, i don't know the details the specific details, but it was as a result of the earthquake that caused the bricks to fall on him. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> i am not positive of that. i don't know those specific details. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> red cross initially and then we will see how it progresses and see how the damage is and

what their specific needs are. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> no. what i know i saw on your television station. the head of the hospital said it was a 13-year-old. that is the only detail i know. the numbers are changing. they are now saying one in critical remaining and 172 that they treated but it is change leg the time. a lot -- changing all the time. a lot of people are still coming in and people are injured by the clean up efforts so be careful as they are starting to work around the broken glass. we are hopeful by mid-week we will be able to put our efforts and our focus on recovery and we are still right now going through inspections and

enforcement and the publicist aspects of this -- public safety aspects of this. by mid-week we are hoping to help people get back into their homes, permitting and moving on as fast as possible. some of the businesses that can operate that are not red tagged may be opened up tomorrow. we are going through our process of identifying which buildings are unsafe to be near and making sure we tape the area so nobody is hurt by falling debris. we also want people to get into their stores and businesses to take care of the yellow tag needs, replacing windows and that type of thing. we will have confusion but things are returning to normal. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> dollar amount on the damage? i am sorry i can't. it will take a while for us to make that assessment. i am hoping we can do something like that in the next week. >> reporter: [ inaudible

question ] >> i have no idea what the damage is. we will get a complete listing and then we will look at the extent of what it will take to fix it. all right. unless there are other question. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] >> not tonight. we will be meeting at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. we will probably at that time announce that we will have another briefing probably around midday. i am not sure whether we will have too much in the way of new information at 9:00 a.m. >> you have been listening to napa city officials give us the latest on their assessment of the damage in the city of napa. as i describe some of the highlights of what they were talking about i want to show you video that was given to us. drone video over some of the

damaged buildings in napa. this is not our drone but it was shared with us and we want to share it with you. it shows some of the damage. city officials assessed 35% of the property in the city. dozens of buildings have been red tagged. they are uninhabitable. there was good news. they expect power restored to almost everybody in napa who does not have power by tonight. by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow morning everybody should have their power back. officials are working to restore water service. there are 60 water mains broken. they are trying to repair those. they hope to have water restored by wednesday or thursday of this week. power lines that were down and gas smells that people were reporting have been mitigated. so there are no more power lines causing hazard and no

more leaking natural gas. also there were more than a thousand 911 calls reported in the city of napa. this goes throughout napa county and solano county. we have been talking about the property damage but there is a human toll as well. dozens of people injured. hospital officials just gave us the latest information on that. ktvu's cristina rendon is at the hospital with the new information. >> reporter: we can tell you things slowly moving back to normal now as it was a chaotic environment earlier this morning and dozen of people made their way into the emergency room. they had to set optriage center where dept were set up. now people are being brought in by balance. we are here this morning as the tents went up. one of the tents has been taken down and the others will be

taken down by the ends of tonight and there was video we had of a child being rolled away into a helicopter. he is a 13-year-old boy in critical condition when he was brought here to queen of the valley hospital. he was hit by debris when a chimney collapsed because of the earthquake. he was flown to uc davis. we don't have heard on his condition. we know that there are 175 people that have been brought in. three of those were staff members here at the hospital who received minor injuries. the other 172 people were patients inside the emergency room. of the 172, 13 were admitted to the hospital. one remains in critical condition and one other was unrelated. injuries were unrelated to the earthquake. and 20 minutes ago we spoke

with the hospital ceo, he says although there was damage inside the hospital, water main breaks, none of the damage inside interfered with their treatment to patients. >> all around i have to say while it is a very unusual day for us it has gone as well as you hope. we do practice and drill for those passengers. we are in california. we know we will have earthquakes. the team did a beautiful job. >> reporter: although the majority of injuries this morning that the hospital staff saw were cuts and bruises from the initial earthquake now hospital staff are seeing people coming in from the clean up. people are getting injured during the clean ups. the staff is closing down the triage tents. they are telling us if you have a regular scheduled operation tomorrow that will go on.

they hope to have everything underrabs and back to normal by -- under raps and back to normal by tomorrow morning. 172 patients and counting and three other are doing okay at this hour. cristina rendon, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. joining us on the phone is brad, with the u.s. geological survey. what can you tell us what is the most important part of the earthquake? >> we can have these earthquakes almost anywhere in the bay area. even on the smallest faults. >> i grew up in the bay area and i have been hearing all my life the big one is going to happen, does this mean anything in terms of the big one. does make it more or less likely that could happen?

>> we are still evaluating the effects of how this earthquake altered the stresses in the surrounding area. but generally the smaller events do not relieve the stress that are needed to be relieved by the larger event. and a reminder, it has been 25 years since the earthquake and we can expect these large events at any time. >> what can you tell people about aftershocks? that is a real concern for a lot of people. a lot of buildings in the downtown area have been weakened, if we have the potential for aftershocks there is more concern more people will be injured. how likely all the aftershocks? >> we have had 50 aftershocks since this morning's earthquake at 3:20 a.m. we had two over magnitude

three. one was 4 minutes after the initial one. the other was at 5:47 a.m. this morning. all the rest have been one to two range. a lot of those would not be felt by people. we are having one aftershock every hour or so. but the rate of activity is decreasing but that does not mean the size is continuing to decrease. we could see larger aftershocks that -- [ indiscernible ] >> and then we will get a larger aftershock later. using our california earthquake probabilities for an event of 6, there is a 50/50 chance of having a magnitude 5 in the next week. and that is really -- [ indiscernible ] >> that is where structures

that are already damaged could suffer additional damage. that is what we need to be careful about. >> from what i understand, this was a shallow earthquake. what does that mean? >> for california this earthquake started at 6 miles and that is very typical for our strikes of faults. in terms of behavior it looks to be typical for magnitude six earthquake in california. >> all right. thank you for your time this evening. although there is no evacuation order the red cross opened two emergency shelters for people in need of help. one is at the crosswalk community church, 2590 first

street, and the second location is in vallejo at the douglas center, 333amador street. and they are open for over night stay. >> and school has been canceled for tomorrow for the napa valley school district. that includes 19 elementary school. 5 middle schools and 5 high schools in the district. also the private school will be closed as well. >> highways have been deemed safe by caltrans. they inspected all roadways and bridges, including the bay bridge. they are open and safe for travel. there was some minor damage on highway 121 in napa. but that has been repaired and crews are monitoring the area. the earthquake damaged a lot of roads in the north bay and it will take time to make all the repairs.

>> we interrupted ktvu's tom vacar, and he was showing us the damage. you were showing one of the cracks and how wide and deep it was and you stuck your hand down there and said your abdomen could have gone -- hand could have gone further. >> i want to show you something. this is a crack. if you look down here, this will have to be repaired. what is interesting about this is, this crack continues threw that gate, down the hill, across the street where it went through a house and another house and the crack went beyond that block to where it broke a water main. it has been a long day of prioritizing emergency repairs. >> reporter: route 21 was the road with the biggest potential to ruin transportation. here close to where 121 and

highway 29, an upheaval and a crack across the road into the shoulder of the road. caltrans narrowed the road with cones for cars to avoid and made a no closure repair. 121 is the main route, people were on their way to go to the races and on their way to napa to go to wine country. they made a temporary fix to the road without closing it and as a result people didn't lose their day. near the corner of white cliffs and twin oaks hour after the quake water continues to spew up from a broken water main. carrying mud and rocks. >> i think they will fix this early. they are responsible. >> reporter: there are so many

individual pieces of damage, you understand that this is a few thousand here, 50,000 here, this is going to be a big number. and underneath this there are other infrastructure, gas leaks, water leaks, once they are repaired, sometimes they may spring a leak somewhere else. this is a major problem going on and we will be on this for the rest of the week. this is going to take a long time to repair. tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. now to ken wayne in napa. >> reporter: tom, there is a lot of work to be done. you can see the bricks in the streets. facades exposed. it will take a long time to get

back to normal and we have been through this before in napa. the last major quake was september 3, 2000. and lot of similarities from that earthquake to today's quake. in 2000 it was 5.2 earthquake that struck the same general area at 1:36 a.m. in the morning. this happened at 3:20 a.m. in the morning. that quake damaged 200 buildings and left a 5-year-old boy in critical condition after a fire place collapsed on him. you heard about the child being struck by a fire place in this situation. that boy in 2000 made a full recovery. one of the deadliest quakes, 1989, many of us remember that. 6.9 earthquake near santa cruz.

it hit 5:04 p.m. october 17. that was responsible for 63 deaths and 3700 injuries. officials believe more people may have been hurt by collapsing freeways but rush hour traffic was light because of the world series game between the san francisco giants and the oakland a's. police say since this earthquake happened at 3:20 a.m. in the morning a lot of lives were spared because very few people were outside when the bricks came down off this building downtown in napa. that is good news. if there is good news it report on this quake. back to you. >> one thing i noticed is how randthem damage could be. -- random the damage could be. as you have been walking around how bad is it? >> reporter: well, let me see

if you can get our photographer to pan around. this is an old building. there is heavy damage. this bill is red tagged. the tree, to the right, you see that store front with the glass windows, that deli is fine. there is nothing wrong with that building. no tag there but then to the right. you can see more debris on the sidewalk. this block right here. one, two, three, four, five major buildings. four are red tagged. that little deli in the middle is just fine and it is not effected by this. they could be open for business tomorrow morning. these other buildings may not

open for business for weeks, maybe months, maybe never. >> a lot of work ahead. ken wayne live in downtown napa. thank you. >> keep thinking about the timing. in the middle of the night. could have been much worse. we will take a quick break. when we come back, mark ibanez is with us. he lives in north napa and he has quite a story to tell. we will be back after this. it makes me happy to go on the computer.

i like feeling smart. internet essentials from comcast has brought low-cost internet access to over 1.4 million low-income people at home. internet essentials helped me progress in my schoolwork. it helped my grades move higher. today it's the largest broadband adoption program in america. it helped me a lot. comcast. helping to bridge the digital divide.

more live pictures from news chopper 2 flying over

downtown napa. you get an idea of the damage. a lot of buildings suffered damage where the bricks fell to the ground. this happened in the middle of the middle of the night, if someone was on the sidewalk and got hit on the head with a break, that could be fatal. a lot of damage in downtown napa. 33 buildings red tagged. housing and residential. that means the buildings suffered so much damage it is no longer inhabitable. we have so many personal stories. we felt it. we live further away. you and your family. someone who has personal story is mark ibanez, you live in napa and grown up in the bay area but this was the worse one. >> living here you get -- this is scientific but three different kind of earthquakes.

the rattlers, and the rolling effect, this was like nothing i ever felt. we were 10 miles away from the epicenter, it felt like our house was a cracker jack box and someone was rat around. it was a licounty -- rattling it around. it was violent. you know, a grandfather clock had fallen down and it was just -- the randomness, the grandfather clock, two feet away, a lamp on a table unscathed. not even moved. perfect and just the randomness, but i have never felt any earthquake this potent and i kept thinking, if we are not near the epicenter this is the -- >> you were thinking the epicenter was in san francisco. >> yeah. i didn't realize how close i

was. but i kept thinking this is the ultimate big one if this isn't the epicenter. >> you made calls, you ran outside -- >> immediately checking on relatives. spent the morning cleaning up glass in our house. tons of glass. broken, you know, dishes. pictures falling off the wall. my mother-in-law lives 5 minutes away, she had a television fall on her leg. she was bleeding. trying to get there the hospital. we got her over to the hospital. she doing great. proof people are watching, she had neighbors waiting for her when she came back to make sure she was okay. to wrap it up, i never felt one that intense, never been that close to the epicenter. usually you kind of -- you know, not total panic. you are used to it but this was

very, very different feeling. violent shaking. >> how scared were you? >> really squared. i broke out in a -- scared. >> i broke out in a sweat. it made an incredible noise, up from the middle of the earth. it was a really, really frightening situation. and i am sure my neighbors feel the same way. just something i never want to experience again. i can't believe there are no truly serious injuries. no fatalities. no one was killed. you know, frightening. >> thankfully you are okay. your family is okay. thank you. [ talking at the same time ] three buildings sustained

major damage in the earthquake. the city manager says those buildings hadn't been brought up to code. he says the city has been working with owners for years to get them upgraded. reinforcement is meant to hold up the walls but it is good to remember that does not prevent exterior bricks from falling apart. >> a strong enough earthquake will cause damage obuildings. -- to buildings, it is not a guarantee. some buildings have been upgraded or just built. >> the city red tagged 33 buildings in all. they are considered too dangerous to go inside. many more, the city manager didn't have a number, but many more yellow tagged. there is limited access but people have to be careful of broken glass and other dangers. the earthquake was so strong it

shattered windows at the top of the air traffic control tower. the airport did stay open with pilots using a common channel that allows them to land and take off by talking to each other. and faa tells us it could take weeks to get the windows replaced. one couple was jolted awake when part of their bed fell on them. they yelled for help. that is when a neighbor came to help free them. >> woke up with the -- our head board, two mirrors on top of us. he couldn't move. his leg was pinned. called for help and our neighbors heard us. >> we are hearing so many of these stories. pictures are from -- these pictures are from another home

in the same area. plates tumbled from cabinets and broke all over the floor. >> startling. some of the worse damage was at a mobile home park in napa. that park caught fire. several mobile homes were destroyed. we will have more on thatmu in a moment.

the roof gave way there. a gaping hole on that story where this happened in the middle of the night and not in the afternoon or day time when people would have been downtown on the city streets. another part of the damage is a mobile home park. it caught fire and residents were forced to flee. >> ktvu's debora villalon is talking to people who live in the mobile home park. a lot of damage there. >> reporter: take a look at the ruins of three mobile homes in the senior community. two of them side by side right here. you can see a third one in the back and a 4th also burned to the ground. for the people in this 250 unit community the earthquake was just the start. natural gas lines ruptured and people were running from the flames. and helping their neighbors get out too. all of this made worse by a

broken water main. and napa fire crews immediately called for back up. many residents needed help getting out. some in wheelchairs but everyone made it out safely. >> i noticed flames that were in the back of the house. and i thought this must be a gas leak and then it just took off. just took off. immediately. i mean it was a matter of two minutes before it was engulfed. >> shakingshaking and a baking. never had this. never felt this. it happened. you go with the flow. >> i am so happy that we are alive. that the rest of this doesn't matter very much anymore. >> it was noon before this fire was out. and there is still no water or power to the napa valley mobile
