Looks like Napa was hit the hardest, most of my bay area friends said there isn't much damage in S.F. / Oakland area

I thought I was having a super gnarly dream when it started and only woke up for a few minutes before it calmed down. This one was big for sure, Napa got pretty dinged up. If it were as big as the Mira Loma (6.9), shit wouldve gotten intense. Havent walked outside yet but I don't think any fa?ades of buildings were messed up or anything.

For those unfimiliar, the Richter scale works by exponential growth, which is why the Mira Loma quake at 6.9 did a lot more damage than a 6.0.

I'm in Santa Rosa and this earthquake made the 3 annoying dogs I'm watching freak out and piss and shit all over.  Pretty tight.
