A moderately strong earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area early Sunday morning, injuring over 170 people in the Napa Valley, severely damaging historic buildings in downtown Napa, rupturing gas lines and water mains across Napa, Sonoma, and Solano counties, leading to multiple fires, plunging thousands into darkness and buckling and cracking roads on Highway 37 and State Routes 12 and 121.

Nearly 100 aftershocks were recorded following the earthquake, the largest to hit the Bay Area since the 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta quake nearly 25 years ago. Initial reports had the earthquake measuring 6.1 magnitude before revising it to 6.0, and then upgrading it back to 6.1.

At least 170 injuries including six critical injuries to adults and a child. The child was airlifted to another hospital for specialist care after being severely injured when a fireplace collapsed.

Walt Mickens, President and CEO of Queen of the Valley Hospital, said “The majority of injuries are non-life threatening: lacerations, cuts, abrasions, bumps and bruises. One patient has multiple fractures. One heart attack. A handful are being admitted to the hospital. Most are treated and released.”

The hospital has some structural damage and leaks, but the doctors were able to continue to care for the onslaught of patients and set up an on-going triage.

Napa City Councilmember Peter Mott reports the library and the historic Chinese laundry building suffered significant damage, and bricks and glass are scattered across downtown sidewalks on Second and Third Streets. The old courthouse in Napa has significant damage to the brick as well.

At least four mobile homes  in Napa burned to the ground, and six to eight others were damaged at the same mobile home park. The older homes sitting on blocks slipped off, rupturing gas lines, and sparking fires.

Water mains in residential areas are broken, causing some localized street flooding.

All major Bay Area bridges have been inspected and concluded to be safe.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s automated economic loss software predicts losses above $100 million.

Significant damage was also reported in nearby Vallejo, where costs were estimated at over $5 million.

A significant aftershock of at least magnitude 5.0 is likely in the next seven days, with U.S. Geological Survey scientists forecasting a 54 percent chance. There is a 5 percent chance of another quake greater than 6.1.

As the first major earthquake to hit the Bay Area in the age of smartphones and social media, photos and damage reports quickly surfaced moments after the quake.

KCBS’ Todd Smoot reported at 4 a.m. that a Safeway store in Sonoma had no power, and all employees evacuated the store while firefighters checked inside. The shaking was especially strong there because of the nature of the land being on alluvial gravel, sand and silt deposits.

Callers to KCBS Radio reported a significant shaking motion in the city of Napa, lasting for an extended time.

In Contra Costa County, the quake was felt as a long, rolling, shaking motion with several peaks of movement lasting for an extended time.

People as far away as the South Bay and Davis reported being woken up by the quake, which was centered 6.7 miles beneath Earth’s surface.

Within minutes, more than 600 people had commented on the CBSSF initial Facebook post about the quake.

“EVERYONE in Petaluma is up and chatting on Facebook. We definitely felt it!” said Ann Popovic.

“(It) Scared me. I’m still scared. Lasted a really LONG time,” said Valerie Gunnell on Facebook.

“Woke up south San Jose,” said Brianne Laiwa.

“Now that was a real earthquake,” exclaimed San Francisco Sunset district resident Matt Wandell.

As you might imagine, the rumbling set off an explosion of tweets:

"A disaster of great magnitude is approaching your country.  Have you prepared for this?  There will be in your country a great quake. The earth shall tremble, the homes shall fall, and many shall be sent into oblivion! Many shall not be prepared and will be claimed by satan. Pray! Pray, My children. Send your messages far and wide.... Awaken now from your slumber! You are soon to feel the hand of God upon your country—you who have turned from your Creator, you who have set yourselves up in pride and arrogance against your Creator!" - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1974

"Great elemental tragedies, disasters, manmade and God - sent upon mankind, shall increase in volume, shall increase in intensity and numbers.  Remember, My children, you do not understand that supernatural, for there will be accidents that are not accidents." Jesus, May 26, 1979

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

Warnings have gone by unnoticed...
Our Lady - "My child, many exhortations and warnings have been given to mankind. You must go forward and refresh their memories. Many have forgotten the warnings from Heaven, for they go about saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming, and where are the warnings that you speak of and write of?'
    "O My children, you are truly blind! These warnings have been given for time, and an extension of time to mankind before the major catastrophe shall be sent upon you, the baptism of fire. You have received these warnings that have gone by unnoticed: floods, hurricanes, fires, disasters, accidents that are not accidents, earthquakes in places that have never experienced such terror before. How many warnings must the Eternal Father send upon mankind before they will awaken and do penance?" (9-28-76)

Great earthquake coming to New York and California...
    Our Lady - "My child, the earthquakes will increase now. There will be one in New York. Now, My child, I tell you this to prepare. You are allowed, My child, to experience all that mankind can suffer. How well you listened to Us when We told you to place on your shelves cans of food, jars of water, blankets. You found it very cold, My child, without heat and without light, and without any form of recreation other then to pray. And that was God's way of letting the world know that they will be on their knees; and one of these days they will be prayer, for many the first time in many years. But why, My children, must We allow all these disasters to happen to you, and have to bring you to your knees in prayer? Can you not listen, and can you not seek for the truth, all who call themselves atheists, and those who have half - hearted interest in religion at all? They call it a thing of the past. It is not a thing of the past, but it is a means for your salvation: accept it and you will be saved; reject it and you will be lost.
    "I repeat again, the earthquakes will increase in volume. California shall be struck. New York shall be struck. As I told you once before, there will be earthquakes in places that have never known a quake. It will startle them and frighten them, but will they come to their knees? Few will, My child, because I can tell you this: they will not have the time to make amends; that is the sad part, My child and My children." (10-5-85)

Great earthquakes coming to Los Angles and New York...
    Jesus - "There will be pestilence anew. There will be earthquakes in many places. The present ones have been nothing compared to what will happen next. There will be a great earthquake in the Los Angeles area, and also New York. I told you this before, My children and My child, but I must repeat to you: Many prayers are needed now, for the balance is most uneasy." (6-17-89)

There is a great split in the earth (U.S.) that is widening...
"There will be a great earthquake in the area of New York.... There is only one thing that you can do with an errant child when they do not listen, and that is to shake them up, My child.  I realize this is not something for jest; it is but a reality that is coming upon mankind. Another area that shall be shaken will be California, My child.  There is a great split in the earth that is widening. This is not generally being given to you in your news tabloids. They are trying to lull you to complacency.  We have given you the road away from these disasters; and that road is only guided by prayers, penance, and atonement." - Our Lady, March 18, 1989

Tragedies and disasters shall increase . . .
Jesus - "Great elemental tragedies, disasters, manmade and God - sent upon mankind, shall increase in volume, shall increase in intensity and numbers. Remember, My children, you do not understand that supernatural, for there will be accidents that are not accidents." (5-26-79)

The world shall be seized by tremors . . .
     Michael - "Listen well, all mankind of earth.  You have received fair warning from the Queen of Heaven.  You will listen, or you will receive a just punishment.
     "The world shall be seized by tremors, the firmament shall be aflame in explosion, and all that is rotten shall fall!" (5-14-77)

 Work to accelerate when tremors come . . .
    Jesus - "I assure you, My children, the work for Heaven will accelerate when the tremors come to the earth.  Be ye warned that houses will blow in the wind.  And if this does not bring man back to his senses, then skin shall dry up on the bones and blow away as if it had never been!  Many will see this, My children, and still not believe that it is the hand of God upon man, because the hearts of man have been hardened by sin; because sin has become a way of life among you.” (6-18-77)

Hunger in America . . .
    Our Lady - "My children in the United States of America, must you go hungry? Many parts of your country shall suffer from want of food, for the winter will be cold. Many shall die in the coming year, My children. There will be accidents that are not accidents. Hunger shall be in the homes of many." 12-7-78)

Store canned goods, water and blankets . . .
    Our Lady - "My children, I caution you now, and I wish that you remember these instructions from several years ago in earth's time that I gave to you, to keep in your homes a good supply of canned good. They have shelf value, My children, they will not spoil. But better that you keep them and they spoil than to have come upon you the great Chastisement. It will be a ball of fire which will ignite many of the chemicals that are being stored up for the destruction of the nations.
    "My children, not only with the canned foods will you store just food, but you must also make known to your families and your friends that they had best keep blankets and water in tight containers; for there will be on the onset of the Chastisement, there will be nothing that you can buy due to contamination." (7-1-85)

Earthquakes, famine, starvation. . .
    Our Lady - "Earthquakes in your country, the United States, extending up through Canada, earthquakes in placed never before known to exist, or the possibility of. And they will know it comes but from the hand of God. Famine, starvation, your crops will rot. The heat will burn, the cattle will starve. And why? Because you refuse to turn back, complacent in your arrogance." (5-30-81)

US - another tremendous earthquake...
    Our Lady - "You cannot count your earth - years as being long any longer. If only I could show you, the prideful and boastful United States and Canada - if I could show you what the enemy has in store for you now, you would grovel on your knees to make restitution to the Eternal Father. But now this must be taught to you in a most sorrowful way.
    "Your country, My child, the United States, shall know of another tremendous earthquake. I know this grips your heart with fear, My child, but you will see and understand." (3-18-89)

The earthquake in Guatemala . . .
     Our Lady - "You must not, My child, concern yourself with questioning the ways of the Eternal Father.  I assure you, the majority of the dead, My child, were prepared.  In their poorness of material in this world, they nourished their souls with grace in faith.
     "The huge earth tremors and the destruction thereof was given for reason.  Accept and learn by these warnings from Heaven.  Your country, the United States of America, and other countries of your earth have been consecrated to My Heart, My children.  It is for this reason that many have been spared in those areas the grievous trials that are now starting for mankind.
     "There will be accidents that are not accidents, tremors in areas never before experiencing these terrors!
     "As in the past, My child, I made it known through you and others that many shall be removed from your world.
     "We in Heaven, My children, are not concerned of your body.  It is the destruction of your eternal souls, or its salvation, that is of major importance.” (2-10-76)

 Eruptions and manifestations shall bring terror to the hearts of many . . .
     Veronica - The sky is taking on a very strange glow.  The usual blue lights are replaced now by a deep green.  Now coming out of the center of the sky, the shadowy green coloring is separating, and Michael is coming forward.  Oh!  Michael has the balance in his right hand, the golden balance, and in his left hand is a very long sword, pointed, sharply pointed on the end.  Michael is pointing the sword downwards.
     Michael - "Hasten, harken, and listen to the words of warning to a generation that has become perverse, degraded - and abominations committed to offend your God.  In justice and for penance, there will be visited upon your earth great trials - droughts, famine, rotting crops, hurricanes, floods, all manner of earth tremors and disturbances of nature, increasing in volume, spreading throughout your world.  There will be eruptions and manifestations that shall bring terror to the hearts of many, in places that have never seen nor heard of such volume of sound and fierce eruptions of the earth.
     "Be ye warned that houses will blow in the wind, and skin will dry up and blow off the bones as if it had never been.  Eyes will see and still not believe, so hardened are the hearts of mankind.
     "The warnings, the numerous warnings that have been given to mankind have gone by unnoticed, and man continues upon his road to his own destruction.  Sins of the flesh have multiplied, and many souls are falling fast into the abyss, their eternal reward being damnation in hell." (8-21-76)

How can we protect our homes, families and loved ones from an earthquake?
    We will be spared of earthquakes if we keep crucifixes on all our outside doors.
    Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84)

(Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  http://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm  

Crucifix to guard entrances to home…
Jesus - "I must reveal, My children, to the world again, that you are to keep a crucifix on your front door and your back door. All entrances to your home must be guarded by the crucifix. There has not been one home on Long Island that had a crucifix on its door that did fall to any evil. I do not speak of the trees, My child; I speak of mankind. You did not know a major disaster as has happened, My children, in Mexico. You see, My child, I set you down in that area to bring the word to mankind, and it was through these words that many listened and the passed through the horrible experience of a hurricane." (10-5-85)

Keep your sacramentals about your necks...
Our Lady - "Keep your sacramentals about your necks. I say about your necks, not for decoration, but because many shall flee with only what they have on their bodies!  It is now a supernatural protection, My children, that you have: your medals, your scapulars, and even your Rosary, your beads of prayer about your neck, your children's necks and all those who wish to be saved.
    "The monuments, the statues, must be kept in your homes.  As it was in the days of old, the angel of death shall pass by those who retain the monuments in their homes." (5-18-77)
