I didn't recognise it, but my first thought was part of Tomales Bay. There's a bunch of places that it sorta looks like.
Think of that stretch of highway where the town sign is always removed.
Here's three more of the same area.

Warm but father west. If you are familiar with Tomales Bay you may recognize this road which one must pass Tomales Bay to reach.

Hmmm... Fog, coastal hills to the east or the west another hill off in the distance to the north or south. Are those bay laurels or euclalyptas trees? Ferns?
Looks like the west side of the peninsula somewhere overlooking a watershed I' guessint it's close to Sawyer trail
Tornadoes, yes. Hurricanes, you usually have a couple days to prepare for--I'd take those over 'quakes or tornadoes. And I say that as a South Florida native. I spent 25 years there and never really went through a major hurricane. I missed Andrew in '92, but my parents went through it--even that wasn't bad if you lived north of South Miami.
In Chicago, the only natural disaster we really have to worry about is a blizzard. And those usually aren't too bad if you're a city dweller. Between the many snow plows and the traffic, the roads tend to clear up pretty quickly.
Admittedly, big earthquakes are bad news to a very small number of people (e.g. people caught on/under collapsed overpasses/buildings/etc). For the rest of us, it's just a surprise free ride...actually kind of fun.

Dig, dig, dig! We have a winner!!!
Fun Fact:
in the town of Bo(linas) there is a bar called Smiley's Saloon, which is older than the game of baseball.

I used to ride there on my bike (BWM R60/6) with my buddies. They would ride down from Santa Rosa where I used to live and meet me in West Oakland where I was living during grad school. We would cross the Bay Bridge into SF, then head north into Marin. We would then take Hwy 1 past Stinson Beach to Bolinas. Didn't Smiley's have a pool table? My memory is going as this was circa '90-'92.
The pool table is still there. One of the only bars I've ever been to that will let you buy a beer and leave with it to go enjoy it on the beach. Damn it! Now I really wanna go back there, I spent a huge part of my childhood running around Stinson/Bo
I remember there were not many people driving in Bolinas. Most people would just walk down the middle of the street. I remember riding into town once and a golden retriever was sleeping just off the side of the road in the shade. Bolinas is a special place. Many fond memories there.
Birkenwhaaa?...
There's a disproportionate amount of Vans if anything (myself included).
Only if you eat granola.
Actually, wearing Birkenstocks may have changed to wearing Tevas?
