Well, look on the bright side: we'll get to start all over when the ocean levels rise 3-6 feet in the next few decades.
I don't have a map of So Cal with this factored in, but here's Manhattan.
A Columbia University study concluded that as sea levels rise, large parts of Lower Manhattan including Battery Park City, part of the World Trade Center site, and the Seaport will experience 10-foot floods after large storms.
