The quake was
centered about nine miles (14 km) north of Napa. There were no
immediate reports of serious damage or injuries, but the quake
spooked residents.
"It was enough to shake all my bottles and I ran out from under
the bar," Cassie Gesiakowski, bartender at a restaurant in
nearby Yountville, told the Los Angeles Times. "Nothing broke,
just some rumbling and people holding onto their chairs."
August's temblor, the biggest in the region in 25 years, injured
more than 100 people, damaged historic buildings, set some homes
on fire and caused power outages around the picturesque town of
Napa, seat of a major wine-growing region.
California, which sits along a series of seismic faults, is
forecast to experience a much more powerful earthquake at some
point, but scientists do not know when it might come or how
strong it would measure.
