South Napa Earthquake Surface Rupture Mapped

Mike Oskin (@mikeoskin) from U.C. Davis tweeted on late Sunday that PhD students Alex Morelan and Chad Trexler had gone out in the field in the Napa area and mapped several surface ruptures related to the South Napa earthquake of Aug 24, 2014. Additional tweets showed pictures of the ruptures.

Surface rupture zone about 1/2 km wide through Brown's Valley. Seems to be a stepover on the fault. #napaearthquake pic.twitter.com/gQEzwLEQz4
