An earthquake just off California’s coast poses dire tsunami risk for many communities

CRESCENT CITY, CA -- SEPTEMBER 18, 2019: A walking tsunami tour in Crescent City shares facts about the destructive 1964 tsunami that wiped out 289 homes and businesses and killed 11 people. The 10-year plan for the Crescent City Harbor District, one of few economic engines in rural Del Norte County, is grim. The isolated area has an aging population. It's hard to get there. There's nothing to do. It's threatened by sea level rise. On top of it all, there's the threat of tsunamis, which wiped out the harbor in 2011. Crescent City has tried to make the best of a frustrating situation. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times)
