Napa Division Fire Chief Darren Drake says the quake caused six significant fires, including at a mobile home park. Four mobile homes have been destroyed and two others damaged.
Raw video footage shows the mobile homes burning after the earthquake:
Thousands are without power, buildings and roadways have been damaged, and water and gas breaks have been reported.
Napa Fire Capt. Doug Bridewell himself had to climb over fallen furniture in his home to check on his family before reporting to duty. He says it was the worst shaking he had ever been in.
The shaking emptied cabinets in homes and store shelves, set off car alarms and had residents of neighboring Sonoma County running out of their houses.
Farther south, the train serving the San Diego Chargers' preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara was canceled in order to make mandatory inspections following an earthquake.
Leslie Gordon of the U.S. Geological Survey says the 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck just before 3:30 a.m. Pacific time about 10 miles northwest of American Canyon. That's about 6 miles southwest of Napa and about 50 miles west-southwest of Sacramento. The quake was felt as far south as Santa Cruz.. The USGS says the depth of the earthquake was just less than seven miles, and numerous small aftershocks have occurred in the Napa wine country.
USGS says it's the largest earthquake to shake the Bay Area since the 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta quake in 1989.
