I dont understand how protection against this wasn't thought of. Cyclone aside, it's an earthquake zone.

It didn't look like a huge wave. Did a lot of damage though.

Mini tsunami., The entire body of water is moving not just surface swell.

Look again. It isn't about that little crest at the start of the surge. The water level rises several feet in a few seconds. Massive flow.

and there more rain coming over the next few weeks. Expecting 12 inches of rain and 4-10 feet of more snow in the mountains

Waves were breaking onto CA-1. Didn't think much of it until I tried to drive back an hour later and saw the destruction.

lol, If a storm surge is coming in, I would think your bow would face into it to avoid getting flipped/tossed but what do I know

Then why are you showing pictures of individual docks owned by homeowners?

Because it still fits the technical definition of a marina.
