A magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit northern California’s San Francisco Bay area Sunday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Leslie Gordon of the USGS says the tremor struck just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday about 10 miles northwest of American Canyon, which is about 6 miles southwest of Napa. The USGS says it's the largest tremor to shake the Bay Area since the 1989 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta quake, which reportedly led to 63 deaths.

Officials say widespread power outages have been reported in Sonoma County, but there have been no immediate report of injuries.

It was an attention getter.

Most of the damage is near the epicenter in American Canyon/ Napa .

Few injuries so far.

The insurance companies will be writing a lot of checks for wine.

Prayers for the injured... Hopefully it's only injuries.

Oh the risks of living in California..

I lived in Sacramento for 3 years. I remember performing audits of auto dealers in San Fran. There was a dealership w storage 6 stories underground. I left my car running and always called someone and told them where I was, just in case there was an earthquake and I was buried in rubble.

Felt that one big time (about 8 miles from epicenter) and having lived in Cali my whole life the most powerful I have experienced. Fortunately the only major casualties I have heard of so far and as Bob alluded to are the wine aisles of the stores in the area.
