Tsunamis aren't just in Asia.....
http://home.att.net/~thehessians/tsunamis.html

The government is doing all it can to ignore the threat:

"The buoys that detect passing waves are subject to breakdown -- as
evidenced by the fact that three of the six currently deployed have been
out of service for a year."
We're too worried about politics and who gets the drug money.

"Another potential source is the collapse of a volcano in the Azores in
the north Atlantic. "In the best case, we would have five hours notice.
In the worst case, (there's) no notice." The scenario that could cause
the biggest tsunami would occur if a large meteorite struck the
Atlantic. A big meteorite is the reason for the Gulf of Mexico,
scientists say. If this scenario plays out, it would be devastating.
"Nobody's going to survive, and there's not a lot we can do."

Look with Google Earth at Santa Barbara volcano on the west end of
Terciera Island in the Azores 38-44N 27-19W. Notice the huge cracks in
the side of the volcano pointed WEST towards the US East coast.
Mathematical tsunami models put the wave height from this volcano's
explosive demise, caused by the water in those cracks becoming
superheated steam WHEN, NOT IF, it erupts blowing the whole end of the
island, billions of tons, into the sea at around 200 feet in Charleston
where I live. The wave will go inland approximately 70 miles, past I-
95, stopping at the sand hills of Orangeburg, SC, which our local
geologists have speculated may have been what caused these sand hills in
the first place long ago. The whole coastal plain of SC has been
underwater to the beach that is now US 601 on a ridge, which slopes away
to the NW towards Columbia.

Everybody, of course, will be dead so the government figures, rightly,
there's no reason to MONITOR these volcanos as, at over 500 mph, only 5
hours of warning would result, no time at all to save the population.
"Important People", of course, would be helicoptered out of death like
always happens in times of crisis.
