Considering how complicated our modern world has become, this might just be the tip of the iceberg. San Francisco or parts of the west coast crashing down into the ocean and sending tsunamis across the Pacific into Asia might be THE disaster that would a) sink stock and housing markets across the globe b) waste a lot of lives and c) create power vacuums that create their own cascading waves of instability which lasts generations.

THe more complex the system, the more power it takes to keep together, the costlier it is to piece back together.
