The magnitude 6.1 earthquake that struck Northern California in the early hours of Aug. 24 may cause up to $4 billion in economic losses by some estimates – although most of that is believed to be uninsured losses.
It was the strongest earthquake to hit the San Francisco Bay area since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which registered a magnitude 6.9.
The latest quake wreaked havoc with the famed, well-traveled downtown Napa winery area and partially destroyed several structures and homes in and around the area.
