Look at a map. Stockton is well inland. A tsunami on the Pacific coast
will be greatly restricted by the Golden Gate. Little, if any effect
would be noted at Sacramento or Stockton


I suppose it would take a direct wave into the bay to wash that far
up, but a series of waves would stop the regular river outflow and
make it rise quite quickly upstream, especially of the wreckage of the
mothballed ship flotilla in Suisun Bay area bottled up outflow at the
Golden Gate or Benicia Bridge (the one between my mother and sister.)


Rising sea levels are entirely another matter.


As if that (massive rise) is gonna happen any time soon...
