Different Ways that Los Angeles is Destroyed or seriously bleeped up in films, books, etc

I started thinking about this after I posted something here about the SNL recurring skit, The Californians. Los Angeles is, of course, massively over-represented in pop culture. There is basically no escaping it. Probably more than half of all movies released in many, many, many given years are filmed there, at least partly, and are often set there. That sucks, of course.... it would be nice if more of an effort were made to spread things out, and film movies in more major cities in the US, at least. Or even all around the world.... I would support that.

But... be that as it may. For better or for worse, Los Angeles is the king of movie locations. So, I have been thinking: what are some movies, books, video games, or any other type of created experience designed to tell a story, in which Los Angeles is somehow menaced or laid waste by some kind of disaster, scourge, alien, zombie apocalypse, terminator, or whatever? Just stick to Los Angeles. There are shitloads of movies like this, of course... I know some of us can come up with some good ones.

Here are a few to get started.
They Thirst, by Robert McCammon
I am a fan of this book. Some people might think it's a Salem's Lot rip-off, and that is probably how it got started. But, the author really spent time and effort setting it in Los Angeles specifically, and he stuck in a lot of cool details. It is about vampires taking over L.A., if you haven't figured that out yet.

Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
The Earth is hit by a comet. The book focuses mostly on Los Angelenos, struggling to survive tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, starving refugees, etc.

Inconstant Moon, by Larry Niven.
A short story, set in L.A. The idea is that there is a massive, terrifying solar flare, which occurs in the middle of the night for L.A. So, the entire far side of the Earth (the far side from the perspective of L.A.) is basically destroyed instantly, and people in L.A. who understand what is happening have a few hours to decide if they can even try to survive.

Them! (1954)
Giant mutant ants threaten L.A.

Night of the Comet (1984)
Makes no sense, but I love it anyway. Something about a passing comet causes everyone who sees it to turn to dust, and a couple girls survive in L.A. because they were in steel reinforced buildings.

OK, I know there are many more, and I'll come back to this, I hope. If everybody can just post one, the first one you think of, this could become a fun thread. Don't even spend any time describing it, if you're in a hurry, just mention any book, movie, video game, or whatever in which L.A. gets really fucked up.
