Got this out of a Yahoo article today:

A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that
California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a
quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in
damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in
this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could
be wrought by a major earthquake.

It sounds like the plot of an apocalyptic action movie, but scientists
with the U.S. Geological Survey warned federal and state emergency
officials that California's geological history shows such "superstorms"
have happened in the past, and should be added to the long list of
natural disasters to worry about in the Golden State.
