Ground acceleration in the Sept. 3 magnitude 5.2 Napa Valley earthquake reached 40 percent of the force of gravity, according to new shake maps issued by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Most of the reported damage was south of the epicenter and therefore most of the Napa Valley’s famous wineries were not badly damaged.
