14 reasons why you should NOT live in California

14. Tsunamis, what else?

We will end where we began: earthquakes. Not only are earthquakes devastating to California, it’s even more dangerous that it’s bordered entirely on one side by the ocean. That means, if an earthquake reaches a large enough magnitude, a massive tsunami could form off the coast and swallow up entire towns:

If a 9.0 earthquake were to strike along California’s sparsely populated North Coast, it would have a catastrophic ripple effect.

A giant tsunami created by the quake would wash away coastal towns, destroy U.S. 101 and cause $70 billion in damage over a large swath of the Pacific coast. More than 100 bridges would be lost, power lines toppled and coastal towns isolated. Residents would have as few as 15 minutes notice to flee to higher ground, and as many as 10,000 would perish.

Welcome to California! Why not stay for a while… or not!
