Santa Rosa is a pretty town, well-to-do, situated in the midst of the most storied wine growing regions in America. It is also on the same fault line as San Francisco and, per capita, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was much more devastating in Santa Rosa, than San Francisco. Many people perished in the fires in San Francisco, whereas most people who died in Santa Rosa died as a result of collapsing buildings. I also walk in the shadow of the great warehouse tragedy when a roof supporting tons of dried prunes collapsed and killed 11 men living below the floor, in 1939.
