Tsunami Santa Cruz

Cascadia Fault, Hosgri Fault, and the whole ring of fire.
These things have been here before.
Recent findings concluded the Cascadia subduction zone was more hazardous than previously suggested.  Some geologists are predicting a 10 to 14% probability that the Cascadia Subduction will rupture in the next 50 years, producing an event of magnitude 9 or higher. The tsunami produced may reach heights of approximately 100 ft moving at 500 miles per hour.
The south end of the Cascadia is about 500 miles north of here so that's about an hour away.
My house is 200ft from  the cliff, a mere 40t above the ocean.
Here is a link to a December 2009 article in Scientific American about 
The map that is provided in this article seems optimistic about 
what gets flooded.  Man, I hope not though.  A tsunami type wave or
surge is a lot different than what breaks at the Lane.  45 to 100ft
would certainly go up and over the cliff with unimaginable power
and volume of water.
