Most seismologists have discounted that as an absolote worst case situation.
Far more likely that the side of the island will collaps in smaller
increments rather than all at once.

A far more likely East Coast Tsunami will be from a major slide off the
North American contenental shelf in the mid-Atlantic region between
Charleston and Cape May. There have been several major slides there in the
last few thousand years.

Another risk area is the Puerto Rico Trench. A collaps of the north wall of
the trench will send a big wave into the Virgin Islands and most of the
Leewards.The slip/strike zone there caused a pretty respectabe quake just
north of Jost Van Dyke a couple of weeks ago.
