Any tsunamis?

None, so quakes must have been strike-slip quake and not thrust quake. Latter are the type that causes tsunamis.

You mean, like San Andreas?

It’s a movie, it’s not reality. Thank you for the laugh.

Even movies based on true events are usually very loosely based (got to juice up reality sometimes).

Still liked the movie, though. But that faults picture you posted above really helps understanding the nature of them. Thanks
