Fortunately, most of the buildings around here are built or retrofitted to easily withstand a 6.0 earthquake. Most structural damage was done to historic and brick buildings. Most of the property damage was done to shelving/appliances/items falling over on the floor and breaking (Reminder: get more earthquake straps) along with ruptured gas and water lines (and where did I put my gas shutoff tool?). Bad news for wine drinkers. The Napa Valley does $15 Billion a year in wine sales and at least one winery has reported losing 1/2 of their wine that fell off the shelves.
