Among the losses revealed Thursday was the destruction of the Santa Rosa hillside home of late "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz. It was unclear what if any artifacts were destroyed.

His widow, Jean Schulz, who evacuated the Upper Ridge Road house before flames could reach it, said she has yet to return to see what remains.

“It's heartbreaking to lose the place where I lived with Sparky,” said Schulz, part owner of Sonoma Media Investments, the parent company of The Press Democrat.

“But you have to look at the bright side: The wonderful thing is the museum is still there. Sparky's spirit is still embodied in the museum.”
