    This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of a day many Napa residents will never forget.

    On August 24, 2014, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake centered south of Napa, shook the area.

    ABC7's J.R. Stone spoke to Napa Mayor Scott Sedgley on Saturday about how the city has bounced back since that disaster.

    "A lot of the building codes have improved...you deal with it when it hits, then you move forward," he said.

    Mayor Sedgley says while the recovery has gone well, a few of the city's historic buildings that were damaged in the quake still remain shuttered...a decade later.

    Strongest earthquake I had ever been in was the Napa Quake of 2014.
