roberta, you remember the loma prieta earthquake well. so how was the response in napa and the clean-up efforts? >> i do remember reporting on the loma prieta earthquake in 1989. i was employed by another television station and i remember reporting on that for four straight days, frank, before i ever got to go back home again. clean-up efforts and the comparisons, it seemed like we were cleaning up for over a year with loma prieta. and let me explain why. first off, take a look at these two comparison maps. you see, first of all, the napa map. a 6.0 earthquake. and you'll notice a little bit how it is centralized in the yellow and the red colors there. those are the people that were affected by this earthquake or felt the shakes and the rumbles. but meanwhile you compare that with the 6.9 loma prieta earthquake. that was so much more far reaching. you see the colors all the way to the south. one buckled. we had substantial damage in san francisco. we had landslides in the summit area, the santa cruz mountains. many people don't remember t

it is the largest to shake the pay area since the 19896.9 loma prieta quake.er this is 6.1 and these are some of the latest pictures here. this is in from pa, part of a building collapsed. people have been tweeting to us and on facebook have been telling me what they felt. one said "it wasn't just a one sharp jolt, but there were several." there are a lot of people who were surprised by the duration, they said it lasted an awful long time and we are just getting in some video that we want to share with you, this is from an in-home security, let's listen here, in-home security system. >> it's an earthquake. it's an earthquake. >> it's an earthquake, no? >> okay, again, the quake struck about 3:20, you saw that girl there, i don't know if you could hear it initially, as it's shaking, a woman comes out at the top of the stairs, i believe there's maybe a daughter at the bottom here, she's call for mom. mom's saying something about an earthquake. obviously very frightening for people experiencing this. jessica, what do you make of the 6.1 quake, what was your first

that loma prieta quake had a magnitude of 6.9. this morning a 6.1.ll very early out there, 5:33, so far no immediate reports of injuries, but the usgs estimates more than 100,000 people experienced "very strong shaking." cnn meteorologist jennifer gray, you've been talking to some people in the bay area this morning. what are they telling you? >> i've seen just some reports from former co-workers who are saying that some of the buildings in the downtown area of napa total loss, just as you've seen, also the buildings, houses on fire, we've also seen, you know, the water mains busted. it's just been a mess across a lot of these neighborhoods. we're seeing pictures right there, one of those homes on fire, and so a lot of lecleanup going on. the brick buildings, older buildings in the downtown areas, structural damage, a lot of these stores as you're seeing there, inside, you can see wine bottles just completely broken on the floor, just total disaster inside, not only in the stores but people's homes, very similar scenes like you're seeing there, thing

we saw loma prieta in '89, part of the district around san francisco. that's something to take into account. notice the difference in energy t pattern between today's event, bulls eye over napa versus loma prieta in 1989. you saw the shaking intensity spread over a much larger area. today we had the damage in downtown napa. types of structure played a role. the geology beneath the surface makes the bay area unique. fantastic for wine growing culture. it does increase the energy. in the last ten years we've had a couple of quakes near 5.0. today 6.0, ten times larger, 32 times the energy release we've seen with more recent 5.0 earthquakes. with the last napa fault, last time we saw this significant, 6.3 in 1989. look at buildings that have not been exposed to shaking quite some time. something matched close to it this morning at 6.0. the aftershocks may continue in the same area the next week or so. we may see more aftershocks, at least 50% chance close to 5.0 or slightly smaller in next few days. >> thank you. rarely do we talk about the west napa fault

the last time we saw something like this was in 1989 in loma prieta. this was not the west napa faultline, which would have been the obvious assumption since it was so close to where the epicenter was. this was the franklin faultline. it was a faultline that had been dormant for 1.6 million years. but today was the day where it became active. again, we have not heard any reports of anyone being seriously injured. mostly just road damage and cosmetic damage. what we want to do is find out where things stand with the usgs. dave is kind enough to join us. the last time we talked about this, you were telling me the location of the fault wasn't completely known. you knew it was near the west napa fault. what is the franklin fault and has it really been dormant for 1.6 million years? >> yeah. it is further south and i can't say it's been dormant for 1.6 million years. i'm not quite sure where that number comes from but it's very unlikely that the franklin fault was the cause of this earthquake. and, really, i think it's not that important right now what name

>> loma prieta was different.he ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for

>>> i'm marianne favro live in santa cruz where the lessons learned here during the loma prieta quake may prove val ubl to the people of napa. learned here during the loma >>> well, we've gone through this before, but it was quite some time ago. and we have lessons learned after that 6.9 loma prieta quake. and it's giving guidance to some in napa. marianne favro joains us now to tell us why. >> reporter: it was a wake up call that likely minimized the amount of damage experienced in the south napa quake. no one wants a repeat of this. >> it was pretty scary. >> reporter: in 1989, the loma prieta quake magnitude 6.9 hit the bay area. just a few miles away from helen carrie's home. >> my front window was out. >> reporter: the quake damaged thousands of buildings at a cost of more than $6 billion. now nearly 25 years later, the lessons learned from loma prieta may help not just in napa but across the bay area. >> i now have an emergency kit with water and band-aids and first aid and some food. so i've learned that you have to be prepared. >> reporter: helen carrie who works at ace hardwa

never felt anything like this, even with loma prieta. when loma prieta came in, it was a roll. this was pretty bad. >> reporter: what's your reaction to all of this devastation? >> well, you know, all of the power went out, it was dark, you know, and it was scary, you know. >> what's the first thing you did? did you check your water heater or the gas? >> yeah, we did. i had to find a flashlight. there was broken glass everywhere. windows were broken. it was scary. >> reporter: tony, stay with me. if we can zoom in at the justice building, this is the old courthouse and i understand that renovations took place about ten years ago. look at that gaping hole. what else can you say about it? there's brick and mortar now in the middle of the street. people are kind of walking around dazed and confused. some people even emotional about this because no one has ever felt anything like this before. tony, you were telling me that you did feel the loma prieta earthquake? >> yes. it was just a rolling sensation. it wasn't bad at all. this would just knock you out of bed. >> reporter: how do

we are concerned that the loma prieta, it has been 25 years, that could have been a recursor to a set that culminated in 1906 in the famous san francisco earthquake so that is what we are worried about. >> you are talking about warning shots that mother earth is giving us every 30 years leading up to the san francisco earthquake in 2006 that killed 3,000. do you feel or is there a possible that this could be history repeating? >> history never repeats but it arrives. we don't expect the exact same sequence of events but it is in the window of possibility that the hayward earthquake could happen. the recurrence interval on that fault is something like 1 70 years plus or minus 30. we are entering that window and it is a warning shot. >> based on your forecast do you know or could we forecast potentially when the next big one could hit? >> we have a website that tries to do that called www. www.openhazarded.com and one you can download for your iphone. we look at the smaller earthquakes as a way to forecast the big earthquakes. this is a relationship, an equation that relates the small o

it's the largest earthquake in the bay area since loma prieta. the quake hit at 3:20 this morning and sent a lot of people to the hospital. it also started fires and caused millions of the dollars in damage. more than 200 people sought treatment at local hospitals tonight one person remains in critical condition. between 90 and 100 buildings have already been red tagged. 7,300 people are without power and hundreds more are without water. >> and here's a map locating the earthquake. the geological survey pin points epicenter about -- >> news chopper 2 flew over the 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

there was a 6.1 earthquake, major earthquake, the biggest one since the 1989 loma prieta quake. this happened in napa, creating such damage that apparently an entire block will be condemned and we have a number of injuries. >> let's go through the figures for you. 89 injuries is the latest figure. most of them went to queen of the valley hospital. now buildings, some of them are majorly damaged, others more minor. some of it by water, as you see. about a half-dozen homes bushed. we know four at least at a mobile home park in north napa. laura anthony has been covering that for us. we have thousands of wine bottles of that been destroyed in this fire and earthquake. as you look at some of the fire pictures from the mobile home park, i want to let you know they had a water main break as well in the area and one of them deeply affected the fighting of this particular fire. water tenders had delivered some water as they were without the immediate hydrants there with the water main break there. and 30,000 people still now, about five and a half hours after the earthquake, still don't

the loma prieta. that happened at 5:00 during a week day. a lot of damage and a lot of people were affected, obviously. we all remember that. this one, though, overnight early this morning, so the damage was limited in terms of injuries to people. 6.1. some of the historic buildings there. the bricks tumbling from buildings and on to cars. i do have some information from the city of napa itself. gas lines crews are responding to approximately 50 gas line breaks. there are approximately 30 water main breaks. both treatment plants are running, though, so there's no damage to them. that's good news. some areas have no water due to some of the main breaks, and some areas, you may be experiencing low or no pressure at all. the main thing here, the message i want you to know is that water remains safe to drink in the napa area. that is of great concern. when something like this happens that people have enough water to drink. city crews are assessing already the infrastructure of buildings and damage. we can tell exteriors of these buildings, as ca

for me, not nearly as strong as the loma prieta quake. moving around, getting the kids up. a shake map, i was able to see what the aftershock situation has been since that 6.0 quake hit at 3:20 our time. there's been a 2.5. there was a 3.6 not too long ago. all of this, of course, having an impact on the roadways in that immediate area. >> and leyla gulen is here with a look at that. >> we look at the golden gate bridge. it's a major concern to people in the bay area. the golden gate bridge, bay bridge have withstood this ea h earthquake. i'll see you the bay bridge toll plaza in a moment. now we did have some areas of reopening of closures. holyfield out in vallejo. i-80 to 37 was shut down. that has actually reopened. we have some video. folks in vallejo. the road has buckled. that thick asphalt that's come up in that try giangular shape there. highways 121, 29, old sonoma highway, that is where we have one-way traffic control in effect as well. major damage that caused some damage to vehicles that were traveling at the time this earthquake struck. folks were not injured

and here is what the shaking we saw, the loma prieta.big one, or at least a big one. the 1906 big one right through there. little big, bigger. this is not a foreshock to anything except a 6.0. in fact, i'm going to show you now what this looks like on the fault zone map. here's the fault we're really worried about. that is the san andreas fault. that's the big one. when that ruptures for many hundred miles, that's where the big shake is going to come from. the fault we were on yesterday is right there. i bet you can hardly see it if you don't have a 65-inch tv at home. that's the size of the fault, the west napa fault, that shook yesterday. so no, not even along the fault itself but still in the fault system itself. because this plate is staying here. this plate here is moving to the north. and every time it moves too much or shakes, then we get that earthquake. the move so far yesterday we found so far the usgs says about four inches at the surface. that's all they could find so far. >> all right. chad myers, i hope you're right, that t

>> yeah, that is definitely the same as the loma prieta earthquake back in 1989.this quake was very long. i would say at least 15 seconds. both of my daughters were woken out of bed. they both sleep very deeply. and my 28-year-old who was 4 when the loma prieta hit, it was shear terror for her. she hates earthquakes. we were all in my bed and it was still shaking. fortunately nothing inside the house was broken, but in the immediate area where i live 29 miles from napa, local police officers are saying no major damage to report. no loss of electricity, which is good, but it woke up a lot of people. >> we are looking at footage of photos and see roads buckling 2 feet or more. obviously, police crews are out with flares trying to astesz damage. that's where it can be scary. a lot of people are driving and the dark passages are hard to see as they are not well lit. you can see the fires breaking out from the canyons. what are you hearing outside of your home and in your community just outside of your doors? >> just outside the door, no loss of electricity to speak wi
