Here's
a shot of the largest building collapse, at 12th & Park Street

|
...this
shot was taken right around the corner to the right, on 12th street

...a
block further east on 12th street, Bistro Laurent received damage
to the facade, but the building was "yellow tagged," meaning
only employees could enter. This building appears retro-fitted,
as you can see the capped ends of the rods at two places around
the outside of the building (see above the door).

The
crush pad at Tablas Creek was strewn with some of their wreckage.
Notably, the very large Seguin-Moreau barrel in the background was
filled with wine and actually lifted off the concrete and wood supports
(in the foreground), falling onto a tank fitting that pierced the
bottom of the barrel. Needless to say, a river of red ran from inside
the storage room. The other barrels were variously smashed, craked
or otherwise damaged enough to become leakers.

closer shot of the interior of the big Seguin-Moreau barrel. The
fitting came loose and pierced the bottom of the barrel.
