RE: California Tsunamis and Lemmings. Or Sherman's March to the Sea.
I used to spend a lot of time in the Marina del Rey/Santa Monica area.
During one of my stays, there was the possibility of a pending tsunami. After the public warnings were all over the TV and radio, it became impossible to move anywhere in the vicinity.
There was no pedestrian or vehicular exodus away from the beach at all. All the people and cars were trying to get TO Venice Beach to watch the tsunami "come in." All the sun-baked brains in SoCal were there, and then some. See what being 3 hours behind "real time" does to people?
