    I was standing in my kitchen near Solano Ave. & Delpha Drive in Napa, and felt a pretty good shake. It was very short, maybe 2 seconds, but it was definitely the kind that felt like a hard jolt rather than a rolling feeling. I heard a loud sound at the same time as the earthquake, the house squeaking possibly?! It startled me that’s for sure & no one else in my home felt it-even my husband who was awake at the time.

    We felt this earthquake in the Napa Yacht Club – it rumbled the entire house (woke us up) but no damage found.
