We had a pretty good sized earthquake last night. I live around 50 miles from the epicenter, and we had a good long shake here --- a long rattling shake that was enough to wake us up and rattle all the loose items in the room. It never felt vere threatening here, we had no damage, and we went right back to sleep afterward.
This morning there were several news stories about damage, fires, and injuries in Napa and Sonoma. The quake was a 6.1, centered in American Canyon, CA. That's a pretty big quake! They are saying it's the largest to hit the area in 25 years. The Govenor has declared a state of emergency.
