as to why the quake caused so much damage to a wide patch or our area, meteorologist rob mayeda joining us to explain that part of the story. >> by magnitude, alone, it would make sense you'd see the most severe to violent shaking right near the epicenter to the santa cruz mountains, fault line there, the energy started to radiate outwards. as we zoom in on the maps in some cases the most devastated damage we saw was not just limited to the santa cruz mountains and closer to the epicenter but in fact, seismologists say a lot of danl we did see was linked to the bay area's geology. not all ground shaking intensities are the same including many miles away from the epicenter. >> in the loma prieta earthquake which was here near santa cruz, we actually saw liquefaction and amplification of ground motion in oakland near the viaduct on the i-180, 8-880. that's 100 miles away, a lot farther than we typically see damage from an earthquake of this size. we don't see liquefaction everywhere or all the time. if we have large enough shaking it can cause liquefaction in regions with mud, sand, or so

with more on how this wind has been impacting air quality, i want to bring in meteorologist rob mayedaing throughout the day, the same wind that pushed smoke offshore and allowed the kincade to grow by 38 square miles today did take more dense smoke off shore. that was the trend we watched on the satellite loop. even as more spot fires showed up and smaller fires in the east bay. the wind shift presents an air quality issue. if you've been outside tonight, around the peninsula and south bay, you're noticing the smoke to get a little more thick as the wind speeds drop off. we have a spare the air day tomorrow, portions of the south bay. smoke pollution we think will be a problem. >> even though there's a lot of locations away from the fire itself, you just go outside for a couple of minutes and you can feel it in your eyes and throat. i had to look for that recirculate button on my air conditioner on the car and the 95 mask could be helpful. we'll have an update on the hour-by-hour wind coming up. >>> all of the fires, evacuation orders and all the chaos that goes with it can be trying
