How far inland can tsunamis go?
I live in Riverside CA and I'm curious, could a tsunami reach my city? What about Anaheim? I have a friend that lives there and I'm just curious if there was a large EQ of the coast of So. Cal near LA how far could it travel?

To the middle; because once they go past the midpoint they are going outwards not inwards

With no highlands or walls to protect as buffer,the impact could be severe. The pressure arising could be very devastating .It could sweep far inland and much will depend on the coastal heights. The lower the inland height the further the sea water will gush in..

How far the tsunamis can go inland depends on the level of the tsunamis and the heights of the barriers. If the tsunamis are very severe and there are few buildings or mountains between the sea and the inland area, they will feature very strong destructive power. The tsunami may have some influence on the city of Anaheim, but the people in this place are quite safe.
