HuffPost's Michael McLaughlin:
Queen of the Valley Medical Center, the only hospital with a trauma center in Napa County, has treated more than 120 patients injured in the quake.
"Things seem to be quieting down, which is good news," said hospital spokeswoman Vanessa deGler. "And we haven't had any fatalities which is the excellent news."
There were three patients admitted with critical injuries, including a child seriously hurt by debris from a chimney. The child has been transferred to another hospital, according to deGler.
Besides the two adults with critical injuries, three other patients have been hospitalized. "They have fractures, that type of injury," deGler said to HuffPost. "They are from fair to serious condition."
The hospital itself was damaged and briefly had to run on backup generators when electricity was lost. The structural damage was limited to an administrative building.

At the height of the power outages, a Pacific Gas & Electric spokesman told HuffPost that there were 70,000 customers without electricity. That number is down to 21,000, according to PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi.
The city of Napa has about 18,000 customers without power. In American Canyon, close to the quake's epicenter, there are 1,800, Guidi said.
Repair crews are still evaluating the extent of the damage and it's too soon to say when power will be restored.
"I do know we have power lines down, but I can neither confirm nor deny that the other causes," said Guidi, though he added that "I know there are other causes."
The utility also supplies natural gas to the area and has received an unspecified number of complaints about gas odors and possible gas leaks.

The Napa County Fire department reports that there were three fires soon after the quake, but no new reports in recent hours.
Capt. Joe Fletcher told The Huffington Post that it’s too soon to determine if schools will be open on Monday.
“Forecasting that is hard to do. I expect we’ll have a decision by this evening.”
All roads are open, Fletcher said, but people are advised to avoid downtown Napa.
“The biggest problem is the structural defects downtown. It’s time consuming process to get to all those inspections done,” Fletcher said. “There are a number of buildings that are unsafe to enter.”
Several water leaks have also been reported in the city's historic downtown. The water supply remains safe to drink, Fletcher said.
