Bay Area Eggers - Earthquake - OT

Options
Hey guys and gals,

I've talked to a few eggers who were ok, hope anyone in the area is ok. I was woke up, my wife grabbed our infant daughter, and we both ran into our other 2s bedroom. It was loud and long, but thank God we sustained no immediate damage and more importantly no injuries.

I was in Napa yesterday helping with the efforts, and I got lucky, extremely lucky.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Thanks everyone, I was 15ish miles from epic center.. I was in Napa and saw stuff that was bad, but I think for the most part no major injuries. You can rebuild your house, the loved ones not being hurt is what matters, and that was put into perspective.

    Have friends that are arriving in Napa today for wine tours, etc. How disruptive will it be for them? Should they just turnaruond or are most places open for business?

    Yesterday most businesses were out of power, but as of last night 90% had had power restored. Some roads were closed, and I'm not sure the difference between today and yesterday. I would call ahead because some wineries got hit pretty hard.
