I don't know either, and I haven't read the book - I keep trying to find it, but I haven't come across it yet in either a library or bookstore. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if Powers found some sort of supporting evidence for that. He does incredibly detailed research. I think I've mentioned before that in
Earthquake Weather, part of the action takes place on a partcular street, Rosecrans Avenue. Well Rosecrans is a real street in Los Angeles County, and it is a long street, but the action happened to take place along a stretch of that street very near where I lived for a time, and he got the place so...right...that I recognized places that I used to pass by nearly every day as I read the book.
