UPDATE: A 65-year-old woman in California has died due to injuries sustained during the earthquake, so the death count is not zero as stated in the video: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-napa-woman-dies-napa-earthquake-toppled-tv-20140910-story.html

Over 100 people have been treated for injuries from the earthquake in Napa, California, but no deaths were reported. Earthquakes are much, much more deadly in other parts of the world. Earlier this month, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake killed hundreds in Southwestern China. The video above explains why.
