Quake Injures 25 in Northern Calif.
An earthquake struck the heart of northern California's wine country early Sunday, measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale and injuring more than 25 people. The quake hit at 1:36 a.m. and knocked out windows, broke gas and water mains and caused power outages in half of Napa County. Two aftershocks by afternoon measured magnitudes 1.5 and 1.8, and as many as 20 small aftershocks might be felt in the next week. The shaking woke people as far south as San Francisco, and about 10,000 residents in the Napa area lost power. ''This was by far the most severe I've ever felt,'' said California Highway Patrol spokesman Mark Bunger, who said he has lived in the Napa area his entire life.
