State of Emergency Declared in California Earthquake

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency Sunday, as thousand remained without power here and emergency workers scrambled to put out fires and treat injuries following a strong earthquake, measured at magnitude 6.0, that struck this area in the early morning.

Even as the shaking continued late Sunday morning—at least four smaller aftershocks were reported Sunday—emergency crews were combing through buildings in downtown Napa, which had partially collapsed during the temblor, searching for anyone who might be trapped inside.
