Good shaker in Napa, any members in the area? Check in when you can let us know how your doing, Hope your all Ok
Thought the same this morning when I saw the news. I guess Internet Connections aren’t really a priority. Somebody will come online, hopefully soon.
We didn’t feel anything here in Rio Linda, but three miles or so west (Natomas) of us, a store lost a bunch of bottles and stuff off of some shelf and a few stucco homes has some cracks.
County let contractors build home in the Natomas area a lot of folks told them not to build there due to it was swamp land that farmers had rice paddy’s there for yrs and yrs… All of the home keep cracking and moving as of the road and streets there look like roller coasters.
That ground keep moving all of the time.
We are around 70 miles east for Napa.
Woke me up here in Marin. Lay awake thinking about what to rename the railroad.
Glad to hear from you guys. All the best.
That’s one thing we don’t get in the UK ; we get tremors (earth and self induced) .
I’m happy to see nobody on here reported serious problems . I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to have your property destroyed .

Yes you get earthquakes, just not a lot.

I’ll take quakes any day over tornadoes. Might get one big quake in your lifetime but some places twisters are a yearly even monthly risk.

Greg , I meant proper earthquakes . The one that hit Birmingham some time back didn’t even wake me up (nothing unusual there) . That one just led to broken crockery but was reported as a very strong earthquake . It was , for the UK , but peanuts when compared to California , Japan , and other places .
I went out on the rescue parties to Agadir in the 60’s , the results there were frightening .

I’m in Saint Helena, about 20 miles from Napa and about 35 miles north of American Canyon where the quake was centered. It was quite a rude awakening! Brief power interruption, about 10 minutes. Friends on the other side of town didn’t get their power restored until 6 in the evening.
No damage, but all the pictures on the walls are crooked. The trains in the basement all stayed on the tracks. I have shelves that have some rolling stock and was just discussing that very evening about putting up some sort of netting for earthquakes. Boy, dodged that bullet.
Not quite “G” scale but Kindred spirits any way. What a bunch of clean up to do!

Yikes, really made a mess of that Napa club’s layout!
Wow! That’ll take a while to resolve.
