I guess that big red blob south of me is the Coquille River Valley. They flood in heavy rain, every year. A tsunami from the direction of Eureka would strike obliquely. So much of that part of the Oregon coast is a steep bluff. I suppose the river mouths at Gold Beach, Port Orford, and Bandon would be problematic.

I laugh when I see the “blue line” over by the high school. That’s supposed to be the altitude above which people can be safe from a tsunami. From it, you can see out over the part of town that is beneath it. City Hall, the fire station, and the roads connecting them to anything. The blue line is about at their roof level.
