Paso Hit
Wow, unfortunately Paso Robles got hit pretty hard by the quake. I lived there when I was 3 years old and housing tracts were going up all over the place. I just had a look at the Yahoo slideshow and was pretty floored the town got hit so hard.

And yes, it's bad California Spanish so the town's name is pronounced Paso Ro-bulls.

Earlier today I was e-mailing with a friend in California about how all the wineries around there may end up with thousands of crushed bottles and she said it would make wine prices go up. Little did we know the damage was severe enough to result in two deaths.
