California is a very beautiful place. Why weren't there cities from people in China or Hawaii or the philippines or even from Native American Tribes given the thousands of years they had to build them?
Ever think about this?
There are several reasons I believe at present that no cities existed here in the 1500s, 1600s or 1700s before the Spanish came and then Lewis and Clark and Russian Trappers and others came here.
Here is the reason I 'm theorizing now:
My theory is California, Oregon and Washington and surrounding states are vulnerable first to earthquakes (like Japan, Chile, China etc.).
However, then on top of this they have periodic ATmospheric River Floods like the 1862 flood that kill 1/4 of the cattle in the state and thousands of people too in various ways.
EArthquakes don't usually bankrupt a whole state but Floods like the 1862 periodic floods do or can.
So, what do earthquakes generally do?
They destroy whatever city they hit like San Francisco in 1906 where literally every window was broken in the whole city by this earthquake and many buildings crumbled and were no more and thousands of people died.

This earthquake scared the living shit out of me because I believe it was a nuclear blast because it went on so long I couldn't believe it was an earthquake. I was bouncing on my bed and my head was hitting the wall and pictures and everything else was falling down around me. this was the most terrifying earthquake I have ever experienced. I was about 22 or 23 when this occurred.The biggest one I knew was coming was the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake so I got my family on a plane to Hawaii and watched it live on CNN which was very upsetting at the time.- The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake occurred in Northern California on October 17 at 5:04 p.m. local time. The shock was centered in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park ...
- October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. On October 17, 1989, at 5:04:15 p.m. (PDT), a magnitude 6.9 earthquake severely shook the San Francisco and Monterey Bay regions.
- The last really big earthquake was around 1994 in NOrthridge in L.A. area:

- So, the point is between periodic ATmospheric River Floods and Earthquakes it makes complete sense to me that any cities built here would have been destroyed by floods or earthquakes before 1862 or 1762 or 1662 or whatever.Even now, the only big city safe from Atmospheric River floods is San Francisco which Techies are now buying up like it is going out of style.But, that doesn't mean a big earthquake couldn't sink San Francisco into the sea either.
