Most of the West coast has high bluffs or cliffs, so a tsunami would only carry away structures down near the water.
It's always been known that California and the Pacific coast generally are earthquake prone. People take their chances because they like living there.
you are right on there.....most people don't realize that north of SF, the coastline is very rugged, cliffs, bluffs etc...all the beaches are SF and down......if a tsunami was big enough to get over many of those cliffs it would have to be over 100 ft plus
You mean all those houses the lefty Hollywood types live in?
