Oh, well. Looks good for the CAP.

It's true that it wouldn't help much in the worst case (earthquake right
off the coast). On the other hand, the more common sources of a tsunami
would be earthquakes or landslides on the other side of the Pacific. With
the pacific tsunami warning system in place, that could give you more than an
hour of lead time.

I read somewhere, in fact in several places, that some low-
lying valleys in California used to be inlets. Now they're deserts.
The Indians have stories about ships coming up those inlets long ago.
So, if this is true, and if they're now dry, the land has risen some.
Quite a bit, maybe. What sort of tensions are building in the area to
raise that land, if any, and what sort of shaking will happen if it
lets go suddenly? And what will the ocean do when that happens?
Might be irrelevant for Californians since the earthquake
would do so much damage, but that wave sure would make a mess
elsewhere on the West Coast.
