Always figured that sooner or later the coast of California would just break

bunch of land area to Alaska.

the local coastal current flows south out of the Arctic, not north.....

the Humboldt flows north along the South American coast.

Those poor Alaskans. The Crazy's in California will drive them nuts.

Incidentally I live in S. Florida where we do not have to worry about such
things.
