I hope that all in our area  here in California near the Mothership are well and have  experienced  little or no damage to their structures and items.

Thanks for posting this here Wolf.  I heard about it this morning when I checked the news.  I've read that there are power outages, gas leaks, etc, throughout the Bay area, including in Santa Rosa.  The only significant damage I've read about so far is the buckling of a highway off-ramp; apparently bridges and such appear to be fine.  Residents reporting shattered glass, etc.
 
Hoping all of our Bay area Alembic family are unscathed.

I've read reports of a few highway closings, and of structural damage in Napa.
 
Said to be the strongest since the Loma Prieta quake in 1989.

I hope everyone is ok. I still have friends out there and heard from one they are doing fine just some broken glass and that they are a little jumpy. I went through the Loma Prieta quake in 89' and the Morgan Hill quake in 84' (was only a 1/2 mile from epicenter for that one). No matter how one comes out of it they are all unnerving.

I thought I had a dream last night around 3:00 a.m. that I felt an earthquake.  I had forgotten about it this morning when my mom called from N.Y. worried about us - then I remembered my hazy half-asleep dream.  No damage here (about 40-50 miles away).  Just like back in '89, , the TV people are focusing on damage, showing the same scenes over and over, making it seem worse to the rest of the country.  Thankfully, there appear to be few injuries.

I am sure that  Enrico Caruso was horrified in 1906 as well ! http://www.sfmuseum.org/1906/ew19.html

Hoping all the best for our Alembic family and all others in the affected areas.
