Glad most of the folks in Napa probably home from work away from damage areas. Looks bad.

Vallejo FRiends, I heard the I-37 Bridge buckled from the quake and is closed. Anything to that?

IIRC, Mare Island bridge is being inspected by CHP.

The really damaged part is the overpass on SR37 that crosses Sonoma Blvd/SR 29. IIRC buckling was between Sonoma Blvd and Fairgrounds on SR 37

I didn’t feel anything here in Antelope, have the valley in between to attenuate the seismic waves.
