A 6.0 magnitude earthquake rocked wine country north of San Francisco early on Sunday, injuring more than 100 people, damaging historic buildings, setting some homes on fire and causing power outages around the picturesque town of Napa.
The quake, the biggest in the region in 25 years, jolted many residents out of bed when it hit at 3:20 a.m. It was centered 6 miles (10 km) south of the city of Napa, which is located about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco.
There were no known fatalities, but three people were seriously injured, including a child who suffered multiple fractures after a fireplace fell on him, local fire battalion chief John Callahan said. Six fires broke out, including one that consumed six mobile homes, he said.
