Tour in Crescent City, California, USA

We visited Crescent City in Northern California in early January 2011. We drew attention to the tsunami evacuation zones, after the Tsunami in Japan we understood the reason, it is an area that has been repeatedly punished for these phenomena. Here is some news about it::
=========
The tsunami capital of the continental United States is Crescent City, Calif. (population 7,542), an economically depressed logging and fishing town just south of the Oregon border. Crescent City is predicted to be the California location hit hardest by the Japanese tsunami; one forecast predicts 7-foot waves, though so far the observed effect has been minimal.

Update, 2:28 p.m. ET: The Los Angeles Times reports 6.5-foot waves in Crescent City causing "significant damage" to boats in the harbor and "most of the docks" and flooding an inland creek. No reports yet of injuries or deaths. Larger surges may follow.

Update, 3:43 p.m. ET: Four people in Crescent City were reportedly swept out to sea, three injured and one believed dead.

They've seen it before. Since 1933, 31 tsunamis have been observed in Crescent City. Four of those caused damage, and one of them, in March 1964, remains the "largest and most destructive recorded tsunami to ever strike the United States Pacific Coast," according to the University of Southern California's Tsunami Research Center. The 1964 tsunami killed 17 people on the West Coast, 11 of them in Crescent City.
