Escape from L.A. (1996)

dir: John Carpenter

On August 23, 2000, an earthquake reaching 9.6 magnitude hits the city of Los Angeles, causing it to separate from the mainland by flooding the San Fernando Valley (now called the "San Fernando Sea") and turning it into an island from Malibu to Anaheim. Just prior to this, an American presidential candidate (Cliff Robertson) who is also an outspoken Christian theocracist makes a doomsday prediction of the disaster during his campaign, saying L.A. is a "city of sin", and that, "Like the mighty hand of God, waters will rise up and separate this sinful, sinful city, from our country."
