10:31, 26 August, 2014
YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, ARMENPRESS. There are Armenians recorded among the
casualties of the magnitude-6.0 quake, which hit California on August
24. Their identity and number is being clarified. The Press Service of
the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Armenia
informed "Armenpress" that by 06.30 o'clock of August 26, the number
of the casualties reached 207, over 100 buildings were damaged.
The Crisis Management Centre of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
of the Republic of Armenia got in touch with the State
Operations Center (SOC) of the State of California, which stated that
the number of those, who have suffered from the quake
continues to grow. The earthquake that jarred California's wine
capital caused $1billion in damages, Napa County officials estimated
Monday as business owners mopped up high-end vintages that spilled
from barrels and bottles and swept away broken glass in the rush to
get the tourist hotspot back in shape for the summer's final holiday
weekend.
With the dust still settling from Sunday's magnitude-6.0 temblor
centred near the city of Napa, government and tourism officials
assessing its economic and structural impact encouraged visitors to
keep flocking to the charming towns, tasting rooms, restaurants and
spas that drive the Napa Valley economy.
