Among the church's structural concerns: that the bell tower has been weakened to the point where it might collapse. This fear has prompted officials to close Sonoma Boulevard, which is also Highway 29, for two blocks on either side of the church. The closure also affects Lincoln Elementary School, immediately across the street from First Baptist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dave Kleinschmidt, Vallejo's public works director, said the city hoped to partially demolish the tower late Monday or Tuesday morning and that Sonoma Boulevard will remain closed until that job is done. First Baptist is one of 10 buildings in the city that have been red-tagged, or declared unsafe for occupation, at least for the time being.

He estimates the retail value of the lost inventory at about $10,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It could be a lot worse,\" he says. \"Nobody got hurt.

Fewer than 10 were admitted, and three are still in critical condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of injuries are non-life threatening: lacerations, cuts, abrasions, bumps and bruises. One patient has multiple fractures. One heart attack. A handful are being admitted to the hospital. Most are treated and released,” Mickens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Mickens warned residents to be careful, saying that many of the new injuries stem from cleanup efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60 water lines are currently down, said Director of Public Works Jacques LaRochelle at a city press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How big was the earthquake?

The U.S. Geological Survey revised its estimate Monday of the chances for a strong, damaging aftershock in the next seven days. Sunday, the agency put that chance at 54 percent.

The city has waived all inspection and permit fees for people who have suffered earthquake damage. About 800 people have called for an inspection, and there are 60 building inspectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> Napa officials say the list of badly damaged buildings in the city has grown dramatically as inspectors continue the long, slow process of assessing structures in the wake of Sunday's earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city said at a Tuesday afternoon press conference that it expects to have red-tagged 120 structures by the end of the day.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports the strongest of those was a 3.9-magnitude shake at 5:33 a.m. centered just south of Napa. That was followed by shocks of 2.7, 1.9, 2.8 and 3.0 over the next 72 minutes. We haven't heard any reports of damage following the series of small quakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Vallejo, demolition crews took down a portion of an unstable bell tower at the First Baptist Church.

Among the church's structural concerns: that the bell tower has been weakened to the point where it might collapse. This fear has prompted officials to close Sonoma Boulevard, which is also Highway 29, for two blocks on either side of the church. The closure also affects Lincoln Elementary School, immediately across the street from First Baptist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dave Kleinschmidt, Vallejo's public works director, said the city hoped to partially demolish the tower late Monday or Tuesday morning and that Sonoma Boulevard will remain closed until that job is done. First Baptist is one of 10 buildings in the city that have been red-tagged, or declared unsafe for occupation, at least for the time being. Another 34 buildings have been yellow-tagged, deemed safe to enter but not to stay in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napa officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofnapa.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1835:red-tagged-structures-list-as-of-245pm-aug-25&catid=1:latest\" target=\"_blank\">updated the number of buildings red-tagged there\u003c/a> to 64.

Damaged buildings still have police tape around them. There are more bricks in the street today because crews are taking down damaged facades and they're starting to clear them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Gadlin, manager of the Lucero Olive Oil store in downtown Napa, started work at 5:30 a.m. Monday to finish cleaning up so the business could open on schedule at 10 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lucero store was widely pictured as one of the businesses damaged in the quake, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar flowing and seeping under the store's front entrance. Today there's a pile of kitty litter near the front door, used to soak up Sunday's oozing mess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took a lot of paper towels, rags and cat litter to pick up the oil,\" Gadlin says. \"And now we're making sure we get rid of all the cat litter and all the stickiness, and I'm sure we'll be finding it in strange places for weeks to come.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gadlin says about 500 bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar were smashed when thrown from shelves during the quake. He estimates the retail value of the lost inventory at about $10,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It could be a lot worse,\" he says. \"Nobody got hurt. It happened in the middle of the night, and we got lucky.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the bigger postquake disruptions in Napa today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa Valley Unified School District, with schools in Napa and Yountville, has shut down for the day so staff can clean up classrooms.

Officials say water is safe for bathing and other household uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:30 p.m.:\u003c/strong> 7,600 residents in Napa County are still without power, while full power has been restored to Sonoma County. Napa City Manager Mike Parness said that PG&E informed him that full power would be restored to Napa residents 1 p.m. Monday at the latest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Napa Community Development Director Rick Tooker, 33 buildings have been red-tagged, or deemed unsafe, while an unknown number of buildings have been yellow-tagged (\"owners should be going in only to clean the premises.\") The 33 buildings deemed unsafe are a combination of older unreinforced masonry and newer constructions, some of which have had recent retrofit work done, according to Tooker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napa Public Works Director Jacques Larochelle said that 60 properties in the city are currently without water, but that all repairs to restore water to the properties (a mix of commercial and residential) are expected to be completed by Wednesday or Thursday of this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4:50 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Walt Mickens, CEO of Napa's Queen of the Valley Hospital, just reported that the facility has treated 172 people since the quake struck at 3:20 a.m. and that patients continue to arrive with quake-related injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those 172 people, 159 were treated and released with injuries such as lacerations and bruises; 13 patients were admitted, including seven with what he called \"orthopedic conditions\" -- broken bones -- five with respiratory or cardiac conditions, and one person whose condition was not related to the quake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3:55 p.m:\u003c/strong> According to California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Director Mark Ghilarducci, 90-100 homes in total have been red-tagged at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briefing the media after assessing damage to the region, Ghilarducci said O.E.S. has received reports that shaking was felt as far north as Ukiah and as far south as Salinas. \"While the damage was bad, it's not as bad as it could've been.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to California State Geologist John Parrish, there have been roughly 50 to 60 aftershocks since Sunday morning's quake, the strongest being 3.6. While geologists don't expect another large earthquake, aftershocks are expected to continue with decreasing magnitude and importance for several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a reminder that we live in earthquake country. None of us are immune to this,\" Parrish said, while urging residents in and around Napa to replenish earthquake supply kits and be cautious about what structures you enter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parrish also explained that the geology around the epicenter, consisting predominantly of soft muds, helped reduce the scope and scale of the damage by reducing shaking at ground level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:45 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Residents of Vallejo were also hit hard by this morning's earthquake. Congressman Mike Thompson told KQED that 41 buildings had been red-tagged, deemed unfit for habitation. There have also been 16 water main breaks. The Mare Island Maritime Museum and old officers' mansions have all sustained damage and lost their chimneys. The U.S. Forest Service building also had a major water main break.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They've had a considerable damage. Especially down in the Tenneessee Street area and over on Mare Island,\" said Thompson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:53 p.m.:\u003c/strong> About 16 buildings in Napa City have been red-tagged, said city officials. Historic buildings have also sustained damage. Four mobile homes were destroyed after a fire at the Napa Valley Mobile Home Park in north Napa. Two other fires in residential areas were extinguished by Napa fire crews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 people have called about natural gas leaks, said Napa Fire Chief Mike Randolph. If you smell gas, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/en/myhome/outages/gas/index.page\" target=\"_blank\">call PG&E at 1-800-PGE-5000\u003c/a>. If you have shut off your gas service, do not turn it back on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 17,000 PG&E customers are still without power, most of them in the city of Napa. When the earthquake hit, about 70,000 homes lost power in Napa, Sonoma and Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All public schools in the city of Napa and the Justin Siena Catholic High School are closed on Monday. Napa Valley Unified District teachers still need to report. Sonoma State University will be open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials report that several Napa County services will be unavailable on Monday, according to county officials. Damage to the county building at 900 Coombs St. is too extensive to open to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither assessor, recorder-county clerk nor Election services will be available to the public tomorrow, according to John Tuteur, county clerk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are working with the Board of Supervisors, Information Technology and Public Works to restore services at an alternate location as quickly as possible,\" Tuteur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:30 p.m.:\u003c/strong> About 120 patients have been treated for earthquake-related injuries, said Queen of the Valley President Walt Mickens. Fewer than 10 were admitted, and three are still in critical condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of injuries are non-life threatening: lacerations, cuts, abrasions, bumps and bruises. One patient has multiple fractures. One heart attack. A handful are being admitted to the hospital. Most are treated and released,” Mickens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Mickens warned residents to be careful, saying that many of the new injuries stem from cleanup efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60 water lines are currently down, said Director of Public Works Jacques LaRochelle at a city press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How big was the earthquake?

Before that, it was rated at 6.0. And immediately after it happened, it was rated a 5.9. This obviously makes it hard to choose a number to put in a blog post, but we're going to go with what's current from the USGS. So back to 6.0 we go until the agency recalculates again.

It's a shallow quake and we haven't heard any reports of damage, although it has the potential for damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's about 6 miles deep and usually when you have a shallow quake it generates more surface waves, which are felt more predominantly throughout the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fault line has not been determined yet, but we'll be looking at that over the next hours or days by the Northern California seismic network.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated 3:45 a.m.:\u003c/strong> The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded an earthquake that rolled through the Bay Area at 3:20 a.m. and 44 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc72282711#summary\">USGS data shows\u003c/a> the quake was a 6.0 quake that struck between Napa and the community of American Canyon. That's the approximate location of the Rogers Creek Fault in the North Bay. The USGS reported the depth of the epicenter as 10.8 kilometers, relatively shallow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was an unusually long earthquake compared with most recent shakes in the Bay Area, lasting at least 10 seconds, with many callers to KCBS in the immediate aftermath saying they felt movement for as long as 20 seconds. In Berkeley, where this account is being written, the quake was a continuous side-to-side shaking as opposed to a strong, abrupt shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.G.S. \"Did You Feel It\" page showed the quake was felt across the Bay Area from Sonoma through Santa Cruz County.

Preventing Schizophrenia This research took us across the country, from New York to San Diego, to meet pioneers in the field of “prodromal” early intervention. This is the controversial idea that schizophrenia may be prevented before its formal onset, in children as young as 10.
