A lot of very expensive wine bottles are probably broken this morning.

SFgate has some impressive pictures.
The Napa-American Canyon-Vallejo stretch was hit hard. Some old historical buildings in Napa crumbed.

Re: Earthquake!
Went up to 120 injured 6 critically. At least a dozen Napa buildings are condemned and 6 mobile homes burned down nearby. Dozens of other buildings with cosmetic damage.

Are you sure someone didn't just rip a loud rumbling fart?

Re: Earthquake!
Huh. Maybe I felt the one in Tokyo. I was just sitting here and the floor started moving all around under my feet.

"Feel what?" she said. "I think I heard something."
I looked over at the chandelier but the cord was hanging completely still. I dismissed all evidence to the contrary because I felt a doozy. Time to go to the hospital.

7.8 in Nepal. Thousands possibly dead and parts of Katmandu have been flattened.

Re: Earthquake!
Up over 2500 dead. But there are likely even more...
Also a 6.7 magnitude aftershock hit this morning. I can't even imagine how terrifying it must be there right now...aid workers warned that the situation could be far worse near the epicenter. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered near Lamjung, about 50 miles northwest of Kathmandu, in the Gorkha district.
Roads to that area were blocked by landslides, hindering rescue teams, said chief district official Prakash Subedi. Teams were trekking through mountain trails to reach remote villages, and helicopters would also be deployed, he said by telephone.
The aid group World Vision said in a statement that remote mountain communities, including in Gorkha, were totally unprepared for the level of destruction caused by the earthquake.
Villages near the epicenter "are literally perched on the sides of large mountain faces and are made from simple stone and rock construction. Many of these villages are only accessible by 4WD and then foot, with some villages hours and even entire days' walks away from main roads at the best of times," the group's local staff member, Matt Darvas, said in the statement.
He said he was hearing that many of the villages may have been completely buried by rock falls.
"It will likely be helicopter access only for these remote villages," he said.

My father was in Kathmandu just a few years ago and at Everest base camp. Glad he got to see these now destroyed landmarks.

Re: Earthquake!
Another big earthquake hits Nepal. Looks like a 7.3 and preliminary reports are that 50 people are dead 1,000+ injured. Also a US military helicopter involved in relief operations has gone missing.

7.5 on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. 100 dead is the initial estimate, but that's bound to go up.

A string of earthquakes north of Phoenix gave the Valley a rare jolt Sunday night, and the largest – a magnitude 4.1 just before 11:30 p.m. – rattled homes across the region.
The series of at least three Arizona earthquakes generated no reports of notable damage, but left people swaying or stunned from Black Canyon City, closest to the epicenter, to Camp Verde and across metro Phoenix as far as Queen Creek.
Michael Conway of the Arizona Geological Survey said Monday morning that scientists had not identified the causative fault line yet. Because the earthquake was small and did not rupture the ground, it will be hard to identify where it originated, Conway said. He also said there will be aftershocks over the next few days, many of them too small to feel.
Re: Earthquake!
Yep, felt it. The whole house shook. We thought maybe someone had driven a car into our house. Went downstairs and looked in the front and back and realized we just had an earthquake.
Felt an aftershock about 20 minutes later. Second earthquake I have felt. The first in California was felt much bigger like a train was rrolling over the place we were at.

Re: Earthquake!
Wednesday, December 29th, is day one of forty that brings us to February 6th...
What's February 6th?
Maybe nothing.
Maybe just a simulation date.
Maybe just the end of the world!
Gonna be a whole lotta shaking going on...

As a former journalist, former geology minor, I am currently suffering from both a knotted stomach and a science/writing boner... Holy shit that article is awesome!
Read to the end. I doubt I need to say that here, as anyone willing to click a New Yorker link is smart enough to know the value of reading to an article's conclusion, but, seriously, the second half is better than any suspense film.
