Napa earthquake

None. Pretty sure the primary objective at that point is to get to safety.

 

Only a 6.0. Still waiting for the BIG ONE........8.0!

Perhaps you should be worried about the Napa Breweries instead of the ones the next county (and valley) over?

The good news is that there was a beer festival in Downtown Napa nine hours before the quake. If it had happened then, there would be hundreds of injuries and maybe some deaths as big chunks of all of these buildings came down into the street exactly where the breweries were set up.

Colin at Downtown Joe's reports that it is a huge mess there, some glass breakage but no permanent damage and no injuries. Power is expected to be out... well, indefinitely, so business is definitely going to take a hit. The SFGate front page photo has a building with some serious damage one block from them and of the exact same architectural design, so it looks like all of downtown was hit pretty damn hard. I encourage folks in the area to drop in, buy some beer, grab a bite and tip well.

Don at Napa Smith doesn't do much social media, so no word from him on anything. They probably have the most to lose, with their huge inventory of glass and large tanks full of beer. A few popped hoses could be disastrous.

 

That earthquake was no joke. It felt pretty strong here in Santa Rosa. Certain areas of our county our still with out power but we got no issue when compared to Napa. My buddy house shook so hard he last all the stuff on his walls as well everything made of glass in his kitchen.

 

Can't tell which place this is but looks like most bottles survived!

 

The RR post pretty much sums it up.The usual merchandise and bottles on the floors of various businesses.What about our friends in neighboring Yolo county ?

 

silver oak, but they were sample btls according to the winemaker, so not much loss

 

You must be joking, right?

 

If you think he's joking, you ain't from around here.

 

I thought the barrel room at Silver Oak took a major hit also.

 

Give it time, eventually CA will split from the rest of the US and go hang out with Hawaii.

 

it's been there, done that.

But seriously, you can scoff at a 4.0, but a 6.0 and above is something you probably shouldn't dick swagger about that it felt like a massage or some shit. Stop trying to be all Earthquake hard, especially when if this happened during the day, you'd be hearing about deaths.

 

3 barrels fell.... However the price tag was $100k iirc.

 

I still walk out of my house at anything above a 5.0. Of course the last time I dealt with one of those I saw the glasses shimmying to the edge..grabbed my already open beer and walked outside.

Been in a 6.2 once, and that was more than enough for me...it makes the 5.0s feel like a tickle but still...crappy situation for those businesses and the people in the area.
