What is more dangerous a tsunami or earthquake?
Earthquake itself is not dangerous if you know how to response. as long as you are on the right place, for example on an open place or inside seismic resistant buildings, etc you will be fine. Many people killed during earthquake because of panic and do wrong thing. tsunami triggered by underwater earthquake and off course more more more dangerous than earthquake. for example if there is no tsunami in sendai, miyagi, iwate area (march 11, 2011) the people killed will be not so significant. tsunami is the most dangerous natural disaster in the world.

When will CA go into the ocean?
California has several long fault lines. The large fault line closest to the ocean front could cause a large portion of land to "crash" into the Pacific ocean in the event of an earthquake which registers at least 9 or more on geological equipment. It is more likely that there will not only be land damage but a giant tsunami (such as what happened not to long ago in Asia) will flood the land and cause more damage. The only warning sign the public will receive will be via the media and warning sirens in areas that have them. Sometimes geologists can predict they are expecting an earthquake based on the repeated movements of land in an area. So we do not know exactly when California will experience a catastrophic earthquake that affects hundreds of miles of coastline. This information comes from a California native (since 1958).
