Flooding off Alviso from the bay, into Mountain View, Sunnyvale and San Jose

I have my doubts there. The Golden Gate is so narrow and long that most of the energy would reflect off the initial pile of water at the Potato Patch shoal (where during the rush just after low tide there can be the most creepy evil looking water you've ever seen (about 1:00 into the video)). I wouldn't want to be there in a boat, as the initial recession would have one slamming on the bottom between breaking waves before the tsunami came in. Totally nasty water there.

Alviso is below sea level, so that is an issue.
About 1890 that was the delivery point for shipments not SF or Oakland so who knows what would happen in a major tsunami.
