epicenter of the quake and you can see it's mostly agricultural land. the initial indication is that the quake was generate on the west napa fault. which is a small offshoot of the calaveras fault. >> tonight state officials say 90 to 100 buildings have been red tagged deemed too dangerous to enter. napa county officials say some of those buildings were older buildings made with masonry that was unreenforced. but some of those buildings were new buildings. >> classes have been cancelled tomorrow for the entire school district. that includes elementary school, middle schools and high schools. the school district will reassess the situation if schools will need to remain closed on tuesday. a private catholic high school is closed tomorrow. >> crews are fanned out across

the bay. at the queen of the valley hospital. a damaged winery and near by vallejo where there's even before damage. ken wayne is reporting on the damage in downtown napa. >> reporter: parts of napa hit hard, hammered by this quake early this morning. one example of that a stark example right behind me. this is alexandria square in downtown napa. just a block away from main street and the near by napa river. this really is the heart of downtown napa. you can see by looking up to the top of this three story building. part of the wall gave way leaving the interior exposed and the roof cockeyed. and we found a car heavily damaged by the earthquake.

you can see the car sitting there covered with debris. the back window smashed by the debris and the rocks and glass and everything that came crashing down on to that vehicle. another example of a few feet away from a building that is standing you can see some heavy damage. erik rasmussen has been going throughout downtown napa checking on the businesses that were also hit by this earthquake: and erik i know some of them were hit very hard. >> reporter: the video only hastes a -- only lasts a few seconds before the power goes out. but it captured the start of the earthquake. objects rained down on brown street. some of the debris smashed an empty car, a gaping hole visible at the top of the old courthouse. live on ktvu this morning some told us they were just trying to assess the damage at home. >> my husband had told me that him and my son had almost died.

a smoker had fell over on top of them. i rushed home as soon as i could. >> reporter: kerry kessler was in a bathroom at the andaz hotel when the quake hit. >> the force of the quake threw me off the toilet and at the same time the mirror was breaking up and flying. >> reporter: she snapped this photo before being taken to the hospital. city inspectors have red tagged at least four buildings too dangerous for anyone to go inside. managers acknowledged some reenforced masonry buildings have not been retrofitted by required. >> i was swaying and it went on and on and on. >> reporter: val's liquor store owner found his business scattered with bottles. >> i'm just staying positive. what can i do. it happened to everybody.

>> reporter: this is just a small example of the kind of debris that crews have been sorting through today. so far city inspectors have only checked out about 1/3 of the building in napa a task which they will resume tomorrow. in napa, erik rasmussen, ktvu channel 2 news. in some cases it wasn't the ground shaking that caused the most damage to some structures but the fires that followed and when you have a fire you need water to put it out. but with water mains broken, that could be a problem. ktvu's debora villalon is live at a mobile home park where there's some serious damage and a hard effort to put those fires out, debora. >> reporter: ken, we're looking at three of the four mobile homes that burned in this park. it happened incredibly fast because after the quake came gas ruptures and a water main break. when the earth stopped moving, fire started burning. as several mobile homes where

the gas lines had ruptures and found a spark probably at the electrical box it's a community of some 250 homes. 350 residents. >> there was no stopping the flames. >> reporter: some people tried garden hoses early on then turned their attention to rescuing neighbors. >> moved our cars, got our valuables, helped neighbors out. walkers, everybody is inside. everybody's homes are on the floor upside down. >> reporter: with roofs and furniture in their way and fires spreading outside, many in this senior community feared for their lives. >> the tv, the cabinet. i have two tvs were all coming at me. and it was all in pitch dark. >> reporter: compounding the crisis the quake also ruptured the water line that feeds the come lek. so fire crews had too little water pressure until they tap into another line near by. this wasn't even the call they

were originally rushing to, they spotted it enrout to some where else. >> it's been a lot of chaos. >> reporter: women gathered in the community center waiting. >> a little devastating because i lost everything. >> reporter: i'm here in my bathrobe, the clothes are all burned up. >> reporter: supports collapsed, two injuries reported here including a man who stepped out into the dark and fell into a crack where his porch used to be. >> a slit amount and the lady across the street put some tourniquets on his legs because he had quite a gash. by the time paramedics came here it had stopped the bleeding. >> reporter: with no water or power well into the evening the salvation army had been providing a spaghetti dinner for residents. some are going to need some

ongoing living assistance. we're going to hear from the long time managers of this complex on the verge of retirement and now rethinking. i'm debora villalon in napa, ken, back to you. >> debora, fortunately there's been no loss of life from this powerful earthquake but there's been a lot of injuries. that number was in the 80s but throughout the day that number has continued to grow. we have cristina rendon at queen of the valley. >> reporter: there's been a number of people coming through the doors right here at queen of the valley. but of the number 17 people have been admitted and that doesn't even include three staff members that were injured. minor injuries when that earthquake hit this morning. the napa earthquake is causings a ripple effect of patients to seek emergency treatment at

queen of the valley emergency center. the staff is tending to dozens with scrapes and bruises. >> i just fell off my bed. i hit my head on the side of my bed. i cut my knee too i don't know what it was. >> reporter: of 200 patients one remains in critical condition. a 13-year-old boy hurt by a debris of a collapsing chimney is in serious condition. clean up injuries are risings. >> i was putting some glass in a pile and it cut my finger. >> reporter: 7-year-old mackenzie madison. >> i was about to get stitches but luckily i didn't. i got a butterfly bandsage. >> they were very fast. very efficient. they did a great job. i'm glad they have the tents set up so they can see others instead of sitting million dollars. >> reporter: the hospital trains for these sort of

disasters. >> it's been a very busy day. it's not been a normal day. i'm glad we're getting back too normal. >> it could have been a lot worse. >> reporter: on a happy note you're looking at proud father angel an -- angel sanchez holding his son ismael. his son was born half an hour before the quick hit. mom and baby are doing okay at this hour. you can still see there is one triage tent behind me. there's within a person or two coming through the area. but we're seeing the number slowly dwindling down. most of the injuries here were minor. there have been some people that had a broken hip or a broken an ankle but thankfully most injuries were minor and they expect to be back to full

operations tomorrow. live in napa. cristina rendon. ktvu news. there's widespread damage to homeless and businesses all across the north bay. this is what the safeway store looked like in american canyon. a lot of things fell off shelves and right into the aisles. a worker says he and the rest of his night crew were on the job stocking shelves when the earthquake happen. he also told us it will probably take at least two days to get this safeway back to normal. roofs collapsed on the vehicles at a napa apartment complex trapping or crushing in cars and suvs. at least four trucks were damaged. one woman described watching the destruction as it happened. >> the earthquake had just stopped and i just saw the whole roof of the carport just collapse. and it was, it was loud. you could hear it cracking and just a big boom and it just

landed right on all these cars. >> reporter: it's hard to tell just how many cars were actually parked there. some smaller vehicles may have been spared. if they were parked between taller vehicles that kept them from being crushed. it's going to take some effort to remove all that debris so people can get their cars out. there's been dozens of aftershocks and we can expect more in the days to come. >> we want to bring in our chief meteorologist bill martin and he's been tracking the aftershocks all day long. what are we seeing. >> you get the infrastructure weaken a little bit then you come along with this 3.6 aftershock that we had a quarter to 6:00 this morning and it causes more problems. we're continuing to see aftershocks about one every hour. most of them are below 2.0. okay. but these are some of the bigger ones this is how it went this morning. we had a 2.6 one of the bigger ones at 8:00 or 10:00 a.m.

this is the actual plots, these are the actual plots of the aftershocks. we go all the way back. right after the earthquake and then look at the aftershocks coming in. so there's dozens and dozens and dozens. they keep coming. if i count them up for you. earlier we had over 200. and i think we got like on 220 or something now. let's take a look. 255. so the aftershocks continue to roll. now, with an opportunity for more aftershocks this entire week there is in that opportunity a five to 10% chance of a magnitude six or larger in the next week. okay that's just probability and chance. 32% chance of a magnitude five or larger in the next week. a 32% chance. this number right here has been going down. it was 55% earlier today. but as we get further from the main event, these probabilities, these chances of a larger aftershock start to go down. when i come back we're going to talk about the fault that these earthquake happened on and some

of the area that this earthquake occurred that made it so unstable. i'll see you back here in a little bit. our coverage also continues online. we're constantly updating ktvu.com with the latest developments. we also have a slide show of pictures from our crews and also from viewers. plus you can look at how this earthquake today compares to the 1989 loma prieta earthquake. the shaking left giant cracks on roads and buckled others. crews are making temporary repairs but a lot more work still needs to be done. tasting rooms in wine country were hit hard by this earth quake. some estimating the damage could hit $1 billion. >> damage not all in napa. vallejo hit hard too. we take a look at people cleaning up their stores and homes tonight.

continuing cover coverage now of the earthquake that hit napa this morning. this is from the pear southern bistro in napa. this is video from vallejo where a surveillance camera was rolling at a musics store.

it happened at consumer music. most of the treatments remained in place. city officials put the number at $5 million in damage. noelle walker is live in vallejo where some streets and buildings are still off limits. >> reporter: about mid-way down the block there's a building that's been red tagged. the earthquake made part of it crumble. the caution tape went up. and the pace of life in vallejo slowed down. >> they're waiting on the crane. >> reporter: reginald carter felt the quake. >> did i feel it what a ride. >> reporter: now he's sitting back. >> yes i was lucky. but other people weren't so lucky. >> reporter: taking in the aftermath on georgia street. >> before they put up the red tag, to keep everybody out of it. >> reporter: everyone has their next crane to one building.

>> the burgundy building right there. because that's where the earthquake shook it and created a sunroof on top. >> part of that wall came lose. so they have to get a train and go up there. >> reporter: security guard wilford withers will work over night making sure no one gets hurt by falling debris. >> it's a quaint little town. >> mostly all the store fronts have been cracked. >> reporter: they're boarding up window after window on tennessee street. >> no one is really ready for an earthquake. there's so much board up to do today we don't have the time to put the glass in. >> reporter: at this thrift store -- >> you can see all the stuff that fell down from the pictures, books. >> reporter: miguel cantelon isn't sweating the small stuff. >> hopefully make, get it raáe ready for tomorrow. >> reporter: he's digging in. >> it looks like i'm going to be here all day and all night. >> reporter: at the bernardi home, there is no rest.

>> and no earthquake insurance. >> reporter: 80-year-old brick and mortar. >> look at that it just crumbled. >> reporter: or match for a 6.0 quake. >> i think every chimney on the block came down. >> when the building started shaking i got all the mortar in my hair from the bricks. i said that's the glue that holds the bricks in. >> reporter: it has everybody losing sleep. >> whatever they're going to name it, i felt that one. >> reporter: julie and frank that $5 million estimate you talked about at the beginning they're expecting that will likely go up as they assess all the damage throughout the city of vallejo. noelle walker, ktvu channel two news. we've been getting a lot of pictures on twitter. we want to share some of those with you because it helps us tell the story. this first tweet says glad no

injuries. i tapped the picture and you see what i mean. look at all the barrels just tossed to the floor here. it goes to say, so sorry to see library lounge shattered, hope clean up goes well. and this one, the damages are unreal. you will see what i mean. look at all the bricks just littered on the floor here. a huge mess there. it says downtown napa got hit hard with this earthquake. my family business will try to prevail. moving on now another one. this really tells the story. napa, earthquake. take a look at this. a wall on to a car there. and one more here i want to share with you today from sebastiani wines, tank damage and a significant amount of wine loss here at this winery. take a look at this. you can see just all the damage. again coming in from sebastiani wines. some of the pictures we've been getting off of twitter. if you want to share them or

tweet them to ktvu. the force of the earthquake blew the windows out of the air traffic control tower. this is a look at the tower where the building where the windows were shattered. the airport closed briefly from around 7:25 until 8:00 this morning. the faa says after the airport reopened pilots started using what's called a common channel. that channel allowed them to land and take off by talking to each other instead of a controller. an faa spokesperson tells us it could take weeks to get those windows replaced. we want to take a look at damage in downtown napa. news chopper 2 flew over the city this morning to get these pictures. this was the alexandria office building on main and fourth. while napa is probably the hardest hit area surrounding communities also have buildings that were red tagged or yellow tagged. highway 121 is a gate way between sonoma. and caltrans quickly went to

work there this morning. >> we'll tell you what crews did to mend the road without delaying drivers on a busy sunday in wine country. if buildings look like this you can imagine how wine bottles and barrels spared. i'll have an update on the assessment of damage in wine country.

i'm going to put my hand down this crack. all the way town, i'm not even close to the bottom -- all the way down. i'm not even close to the bottom. it's probably five to 6 feet. >> mark: that's tom vacar showing a big crack on highway 121 near sears point. it gives you a real idea of just how powerful the earthquake was. caltrans says it send inspectors -- sent inspectors following the quake. tom vacar now with more on the

status of the road. >> reporter: rout 21 was the row with the biggest potential to curve transportation. a crack all the way across the road well into the shoulder of the road and the land and vineyards beyond. caltrans quickly narrowed the road with cones for cars to avoid the wide crevases. people were on their way to go to the races in sonoma and on their way to napa to go to wine country. so what did they do? they made a temporary fix to the road without ever closing it. and as a result, people didn't lose their day. mean while, near the corner of white cliffs and twin oaks in napa, hours after the quake, water continued to spew up through the street from a broken water main. carrying with it large amounts of mud and rocks which if i'm

corrected could have caused the sink hole. the quake ripped up blocks of parallel streets with the worse cracking an upheaval here. >> i think they will work this early. they have a good work crew and they're responsible. >> you have no control. it happened so fast and wow. >> reporter: as we drove around we found numerous other up heaves and cracks. work will likely take a long time for permanent repairs. tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. if there's one thing napa is known for around the world it's wine. now many of those businesses are dealing with broken bottles or even worse. more on the damage at vineyards right after the break. >> looks like some napa businesses may be down for the count. but for others it's almost business as usual. our quake coverage continues live from napa.

our napa quake coverage continues here on ktvu. i'm ken wayne live in downtown napa. as you can see behind me, it looks like for some businesses it's going to be a very long difficult road back to get their doors open again if they can ever do that. but meantime, in some locations just a few feet away from a

building that has been red tagged, it's business as usual. we went to one of businesses here in downtown -- one of those businesses here in downtown napa tonight. those businesses are thriving. some customers said they stoped in after taking in the races. they were curious to see how downtown napa looked after this quake. others are napa residents who said they were taking a much needed time out from the stress of cleaning up quick related damage. >> we're just taking a break from sweeping up the glass and vacuuming and getting all the plates and crystal and china and everything back into the cabinets tonight. >> one thing you will note in the back of the restaurant in the kitchen is the clock which is stopped at 3:20. that of course is the time the quake hit this morning. fagiani has a limited menu and seating but hopes to get back

to normal capacity soon. other restaurants are in a different situation. they don't know when or if they'll be able to come back. when you see the word napa one of the thing that is comes to mind is wine. it is a huge industry in this part of the bay area. katie utehs is live with more on that. >> reporter: ken, we've all heard the sound of shattering glass. now imagine that sound for 20 seconds straight. that's how one business owner described the quake to me. now she and others are tryings to pick up those many -- trying to pick up those many pieces. >> reporter: closed. >> all of those cans were on the floor. >> i was just squiging up before you came. >> reporter: the winery still

opened its tasting room for normal business hours. the trevesti family winery opened all day. like many wineries in downtown it may be red tagged. unsafe to occupy. >> we've been really lucky that the power came back. oh my god. the power came back on. >> reporter: napa business owners are rattled by continued power bumps and aftershocks. but the sense of community stronger than glass. >> we had people coming in and tomorrow we're going to get another crew come in because it still needs to be cleaned. >> reporter: like so many she does not have earthquake insurance. those bottles of wine smashed at silver oaks are considered to be priceless. and still others are estimating the total damage here in napa valley to possibly hit the 1 billion mark. live in napa, katie utehs.

one other question tonight seismologists are still trying to find out exactly which fault ruptured today. >> the west napa fault is a little known section. bill martin here with more on what he learned about that. >> san andreas is the big one. it runs into southern california. everything stems from that. so the san andreas fault north american plate, pacific plate moves at 2-inches a year. so what happens is all these smaller faults which are reacting to that movement. start to get active and start to move. so here is the west napa fault. you can see it's between the rogers creek and west napa fall is where the earthquake was. it is a very short fault. only about 30 miles long. san andreas fault is about 800 miles long. take a look a little closer. the napa valley very fertile

soil. these are sediments this is the luvial soil which means it's lose and things tend to really shake. you do get and we're seeing that a lot of damage in the napa area. because the soils. what you're living on has a lot to do with how things go where you live. the epicenter was about 4 feet. this is about average for this fault. the depth about 6 miles and as you know the closer to the surface the epicenter is the more strongly felt the earthquake is felt. and speaking of being felt. this is the shake map. this is one of the most telling tools we have when an earthquake first happens. people call in and report what they actually felt. you can see over here in the yellow right strong. look where it is. very isolated. but here's the thing to note. lake tahoe all the way over to point arena. south to monterey. look at the coverage of people who felt this.

as far south as mammoth lakes and the big suhr area. take a look at where all the action was. right there in the napa valley. this has a lot to do with the soil in the area. it packed a pufrplg today. we're going to talk more about your weather and faults and what we can expect in the coming days. >> many north bay business owners have a long week ahead of them as they assess the damage and clean up the big mess following this morning's quake. bottles went flying off the shelves when the earthquake hit. and after waking up to the violent shaking, he was expecting a big mess. so many pictures of the damage. we have a few more we want to show you. this one was sent to us. it shows a crack in the roadway. we showed you how tom vacar could stick his hand all the way down a crack. you can probably do the same in

this. here's the other one. the end of our napa vacation, thank you california for sharing your truly beauty and the beast. presumably they were staying in this motel, hotel, bed and breakfast whatever this is. can you imagine coming out to california, you've never been in an earthquake before and this is what happens. need less to say it'll be a vacation they will never forget. right now on our website you can look at the buildings that have been red tagged meaning they are too dangerous to enter. we have powerful pictures of the damage. more powerful pictures all of that at ktvu.com. and in an earthquake such as this. we often hear remarkable stories of survival. coming up next the rude awakening for this woman and her husband and who came to their rescue.

earthquake. it's an earthquake. >> much of the bay area was jolted out of bed this morning. the largest earthquake to hit the region since the loma prieta quake. today the clear look at the damage and the clean up still ahead. >> two people in napa got a

rude awakening when part of their bed actually fell on top of them. the husband and wife found themes pinned beneath their head board and two mirrors. they yelled for help hoping someone would hear them and a neighbor actually climbed through a screen to help them get free. >> called for help and our neighbors eventually heard us. >> these pictures are from another home in the same area. you can see there a lot of glassware and plates tumbled from cabinets and broke into pieces on the floor. >> the earthquake today knocked out power to about 70,000 customers in napa, solano and sonoma. pg & e says it's crews will be working -- its crews will be working overnight to get power back on. the earthquake also damaged water mains in napa and vallejo. tonight 600 customers are still

without water. city leaders say it could be three to four days before all the repairs are finished. if you need water they've set up a water station on napa high school. we're actually staying on for an extra 30 minutes. coming up we return to our reporters live from napa for the latest on all the of the injuries and the damage as we look at the alexandria office building right there in downtown napa.
