189 People Injured Due To Earthquake California
According to reports 189 people have been injured in California after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit near Napa Valley Sunday. This was the largest quake hit in the bay area since 6.9 Prieta quake in 1989.
Aftershocks were expected to continue for several weeks, while Geologists warned people to be careful because buildings that were damaged by the quake were now more susceptible to collapse from aftershocks. The U.S. Geological Survey says the tremor struck just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday local time about 10 miles northwest of American Canyon, which is about 6 miles southwest of Napa. Out of the 172 patients admitted to Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, 13 were admitted to the hospital with broken bones and respiratory or cardiac conditions, while the rest were treated and released for less severe injuries.
