CNN) -*A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Northern California early Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Eighty-seven patients have been treated or are being treated at Queen of the Valley Hospital following the early morning earthquake, according to the city of Napa. "There are three major injury cases," the city said on its website.

One "young child," a girl, is in critical condition, Napa Division Fire Chief John Callanan said at a news conference. She was hurt when a fireplace collapsed.

It was the strongest earthquake to hit the Bay Area since 1989, when a quake struck during the World Series.

Sunday's earthquake struck 4 miles northwest of American Canyon, 6 miles southwest of Napa, and 9 miles southeast of Sonoma, according to the USGS.

A water main ruptured in downtown Napa and a handful of structural fires broke out, according to the Napa city fire department. Some Napa historic buildings sustained extensive damage and at least 15,000 customers in and around Sonoma, Napa, and Santa Rosa lost power, according to Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

The USGS estimated, based on their locations, that 15,000 people experienced severe shaking, 106,000 people felt very strong shaking, 176,000 felt strong shaking, and 738,000 felt moderate shaking.

Wine country hit

"I've got a lot of broken wine, being here in Napa," said Emily Massimi, who was woken up by the quake. "We tend to collect wine, so I have wine all over my kitchen, and glass, and pictures off the wall and books off of bookshelves," she told CNN.

Northern California woke up Sunday morning to a magnitude-6.1 earthquake that shook Napa and the greater Bay Area.

But the San Francisco 49ers' preseason contest against the San Diego Chargers will continue as planned, kicking off at 4 p.m. ET on Fox. The team's new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara has "no reported damage," according to a team statement released Sunday morning.

"We would like to extend our best wishes to all of our neighbors, family and friends affected by this morning's earthquake," a portion of the statement read.

However, transportation to the venue will be limited. Trains within a 100-mile radius of Napa have been shut down, affecting upward of 1,250 fans, per the statement.

The earthquake's epicenter was in American Canyon, about 50 miles north of the stadium. It was the largest earthquake in the region since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which delayed Game 3 of the World Series between the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants.

The quake gently shook our house in Davis, enough to awaken my wife and me.

Just a steady rumble for us. Or maybe I'm just used to growing up in L.A. The earthquakes there were a lot more "showy"

I'm 15 miles towards the beach from the epicenter. That was the 3rd strongest quake I've been through. My koi pond is an 8 x 16 ft box 6 ft deep. The quake made a wave that sloshed 180 gallons over the side of the pond.

I woke up too..I'm just north of Duck so it was pretty close to me, and lasted about 45 seconds

shit was scary, heart was pumping...mainly because of my 2 year old

If I didnt have him, I doubt I even wouldve gotten up...

Strongest quake I have felt in 25 years
