American East Coast, and Caribbean tsunami: Worst case scenario

Good Morning Everyone,

I have known about this since I was in the navy 1978-1984 (East Coast Sailor) I have read both pro and con analysis of this subject.

When we are aware of a potentially devastating threat, we seem to prefer to ignore it in the hope that it will mysteriously disappear. Clearly, however, it won't, and it is about time that we sat up and paid attention to what nature can and will do.

A huge chunk of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the Canary Island of La Palma, is on the move. In 1949, this mass of rock perhaps as large as the Isle of Man dropped 4 metres seawards and stopped.

In the event of the worst case scenario how much time will the American East Coast, and Caribbean have to get the hell out of the way of the gigantic supper sonic tsunami of 100 M or higher?

Without evacuation, the destruction will end the lives of tens of millions and bring the global economy to its knees overnight.
