LA, LA Land, or Tsunami Land?
So, you’re dreaming of palm trees, endless sunshine, and the iconic Hollywood sign, right? Well, hold your horses (or should I say surfboards?) because there’s a little more to the City of Angels than meets the eye. We’re talking about the big kahuna of natural disasters: the tsunami.

Is LA Really at Risk?
You might be thinking, “Tsunamis? In LA? Are you kidding me? Isn’t that more of a Hawaii or Japan thing?” Well, let’s just say the ocean has a wicked sense of humor. While it's true that LA doesn’t get slammed with tsunamis like other places, it's not entirely immune.
The Pacific Ring of Fire, that fiery volcanic and earthquake hotspot, surrounds LA. And as we all know, earthquakes and tsunamis are like peanut butter and jelly – they go together like a match made in disaster movie heaven. So, while the chances of a massive, city-destroying tsunami hitting LA are relatively low, it’s not zero.
