There is no way for a tsunami wave to affect any place in the central valley of California. The wave would have to travel into the San Francisco Bay first, when, upon doing so, it will be truncated on both sides by the narrow passage that the waves that actually do make it though will quickly disperse into a total water level rise of a few centimeters AT MOST. This water level rise will not be able to raise the water level of the estuary region at all, and thus no water can disperse into the higher elevations of the central valley.
