"Strong Earthquake Shakes Northern California"

"A powerful earthquake centered in the Northern California wine country hit a broad area early Sunday morning, injuring dozens, buckling roads and knocking out power for thousands of residents."
The 6.0-magnitude earthquake is the most damaging in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1989 said David Oppenheimer, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif., which is predicting a more than 50% chance of aftershocks of a magnitude of 5.0 or greater over the next week. 
"This illustrates what happens when a moderate earthquake hits where people live," he said. "It can be a quite serious."
I heard a report say this was the strongest since Loma Prieta.
How is our people in California doing?
