The cause of the event might be a strong shift in the earth's magnetic field, which could explain power outages across the board and loss of communication. There are a few hints pointing in that direction; for example, a compass spinning aimlessly and northern lights over a cabin in Seattle. Shifts in the magnetic field can also trigger heavy changes in the climate as the earth temporarily loses some protection against cosmic rays. Shifts in the past (the last full switch has been around 750,000 years ago) are not proven to have triggered mass extinction events though. Also, this would not explain a sudden volcanic eruption and probably not explain a tsunami-like tide.
