I talked to Mark this morning, him and his family are fine, shop is good.
Had broken glass and stuff everywhere at home.

There are others in the area too, hope everyone else and their cars are OK.

I live about 20 minutes west of the epicenter....... the shaking was almost as strong as the 1989 quake. My wife and I woke up to violent shaking in the early hours. Very, very scary.

Checked on the kid, checked on the house, checked on the neighbors.... all is good.

All in all, the area suffered very little, considering the potential. One mobile home park caught fire (gas line) and downtown Napa had exterior damage to historic buildings.

The Sonoma Raceway event is still happening, which is a good sign that roads are in fairly good shape.

Thank you to those who have sent messages of concern.......

But is the Girl and the Fig still standing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Seriously, I'm glad no one was hurt or much damage involved. Earthquakes are bad enough during the day but worse in the middle of the night.

If you haven't already installed a seismic gas shut off device at your gas meter, have a technician put one in this week. Ours was installed just before the Northridge earthquake. Sometimes you don't have a chance to fumble with a wrench on the shut off valve.

It's funny that my wife and I didn't even wake up. We're in San Jose, not that far away.
