Napa Still Rebuilding 1 Year After Magnitude-6.0 Earthquake

NAPA (CBS13) — A year after a magnitude-6.0 earthquake shook the Napa region, the rebuilding continues.

One person died and 200 more were injured in the earthquake, and 613 homes and buildings were damaged following a round of inspections. Wineries suffered $80 to $100 million in property damage and product loss.

The Aug. 24, 2014 earthquake was the strongest seen in the region since the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

It was just after 3 a.m. on a Sunday when the quake tossed people from their beds and set parts of Napa on fire. When the sun came up, residents saw a crumbled downtown, wine bottles smashed, and hundreds of homes left unlivable.

The top of the courthouse was sitting in the street a year ago. Now the building shows progress, with stores below open.

But there are plenty of businesses and homes that won't reopen or be rebuilt. A home that was about to collapse after the quake was demolished by its owners, leaving just some metal and wood remains.

The city says there are still around 60 homes and businesses that are uninhabitable, down from 200 right after the earthquake.

Julie Barnes and her family lived in a trailer outside of her home right after the quake. A year and $50,000 later, their home is back to normal. But it's been rough on her young kids.

"In their minds, honestly, they think the house tried to kill them," she said.
