Demolition continues before holiday in Santa Rosa's devastated Coffey Park neighborhood

Tuesday, November 21, 2017
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- We returned to Coffey Park Tuesday, where demolition has begun in earnest.

Some residents continue to sift.



"What do you hope to find?"

"I don't know."

"Is it possible to be thankful, two days before Thanksgiving?"

"I have my life."

You know it will happen.
