Magnitude 6.0 Earthquake Hits California

That was a bad one.

I feel badly for those people. I'm seeing a lot of destruction out there on TV. I heard this was the biggest one since the one in 1989. I remember watching the World Series game when it hit.

After feeling the one we had in Virginia in 2011 which damaged the Washington Monument and the National Cathedral, among others, I could never live out in California.

We can joke about the "destruction" we endured with photos like this:



But the folks out west really got whacked. Prayers go out to them.

It was scary as hell. It woke me and I had no clue where I was. My wife is from CA so she woke up second later and remembered. I sobered up real quick. Lasted about 15 seconds I think. The house was shaking and almost felt like it was twisting. My wife and dog went back to sleep. I couldn't. Our power is out, but I know it's not out everywhere. Scary stuff.

Happened 3:30 am. Everyone in the Napa area I know on facebook made a post about it.

ETA: 3:30 am PST

If its just the beginning I hope the western range (Diamond and Spring mountains) don't slide into the ocean.

ETA: and I'll be sure to drink all the good wine

Hunt, who has lived in Napa since 1996, owns a winery. She said she heard from her partner that her 2011 and 2012 vintages had been destroyed. “That’s pretty devastating if that’s the case,” she said.

It's happening

It woke me up, but wasn't strong at all where I am.
