That must be an awfully slow tsunami, that article is from 2001.

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.

This is why I'm staying in Minnesota. The water is hard here almost all
year long and won't form into big waves.

Actally most of the moos have migrated to Canada where everyone is
smarter, even the moose. They don't have any trouble crossing the
borders and don't have to deal with the point system devised by the
Canadians to keep out bush lovers.

Why is it whenever people predict these global cataclysms the US is always
the one that gets the brunt of the damage?

But then there is the Yellowstone Caldera to fret about - far more
devistating than any tsunami!
