- 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.
Here's the data on each earthquake from USGS:

- The roots of unrest in Ferguson
- Date posted
- 12 years ago
- Description
- Read the latest updates here: http://www.vox.com/michael-brown-shooting-ferguson-mo
The residents of Ferguson, Missouri, have taken to the streets to protest the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed when he was killed by police on August 9. Demonstrations turned violent the day after Brown's shooting, with reports of looting in the area, but since then, protesters have remained largely peaceful. Nevertheless, police responded with military-grade equipment, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Vox's German Lopez explains how the response from law enforcement exacerbates long-standing tensions in this small St. Louis suburb.
