There was a large 6.3 earthquake overnight on the north coast, centered in a lovely little town called Eureka. Things are pretty shaken up (bad pun, not intended) in that region. No deaths thankfully, but many injuries, and a lot of damage. 2 days ago there was a smaller 'quake in a town that I so well know the name of and am blank on. So it gets a bit creepy when the earthquakes are happening like that. Here, there, here, there, and getting larger.
I always worry about Noah, living in San Francisco, because that city is a likely place for a major earthquake to strike, also my niece, who lives in a city very close to S.F. Where I live we would certainly feel a large or major 'quake, but it would be unusual for us to be an epicenter. So we could have damage, possibly some injuries, but wouldn't expect deaths or major structural collapse, or fires (coming from broken gas lines).
Here's an example of what today's earthquake did to a street in Ferndale, a town near Eureka. The earth shakes and rolls, so things kind-of squish up and collapse.
