I was discussing the earthquake insurance with a couple coworkers today. They said they were quoted $500-$1000 a month depending on size and cost of home. Cost prohibitive for many.
Here is an article on some of the wineries that were hit hard. Trefethen is the one I posted earlier. Hess lost two 10,000 tanks full of wine AND 15,000 cases of wine.

35 building have been red tagged so far with more to come.
We did find some humor in all the reporting though. The media keeps showing the same black sedan that was hit by debris in the bail bonds parking lot. The car, which is a rental car, is our friends who went out for a guys night on Saturday. They did the right thing and took a cab home and car ended up getting smashed up.
Now he is too embarrassed to go down to get the car because of all the media attention.

So how can you help? If you or any friends have trips planned to come to the valley please do not cancel them. The best thing you could do is come to Napa and support the businesses that need your tourist dollars. There are many great restaurants, hotels and wineries that are still open and want your business. Life goes on and we will thrive but need your support.
