the US east coast will be BLIND-SIDED because 80% of our tsunami warning buoys are not working.
Wouldn't the remaining 20% give you some kind of a warning?
If I have 5 clocks in my house, and 3 don't work. I could still tell you what time it is.
There isn't much evidence at all for anything really important on the Eastern Seaboard having occurred. Ever.
Have we ever had a real tsunami hit the Atlantic coast?
For Surinam, at a distance of 4700 km from La Palma, the r-1 decline yields a wave height of about a meter, and the r-1.85 decline yields a wave height of only about 2 cm. For Florida, at a distance of 6100 km, the r-1 decline yields a wave height of about 77 cm, and the r-1.85 decline yields a wave height of only about 1.2 cm. Even the largest of these estimates is considerably smaller than the worrisome values given by Ward and Day (2001).

A mountain will slide into the ocean if that earthquake hits the Canary Islands in the right way and sets off the volcano there. I seen a documentary on it something like 100ft tsunami will hit United States.

Sooo... Russia just needs to detonate a large nuke underwater and the USA won’t have any warning?

You'd have about 5 hours to get off the pot in order to avoid that 3 foot wave.
Nestled on the western side of La Palma sits the Cumbre Vieja volcano, like a pot of water waiting to boil over. Its last big eruption was more than 50 years ago, but everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before it unleashes the beast inside.
...
As that wave travels from Africa to the west, it would move about as fast as a jet airliner, about 500 MPH. About eight hours later, that wave would reach the North American coastline and begin to pile up on top of itself, creating upwards of a ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FOOT TALL wall of water, smashing into the ENTIRE east coast.
All the major cities would be wiped out. Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Norfolk, VA, Charleston, SC, Jacksonville, FL, Miami, would all be inundated by a giant wall of water. Most buildings within ten miles of the coast would be physically knocked down by the wave. Almost nothing would survive.
A volcano erupted on La Palma, one of Spain’s Canary Islands off Africa’s Atlantic coast, on Sunday, sending large plumes of grey smoke into the air.
On Saturday, a 3.2-magnitude earthquake was reported on the island. It was followed by four tremors on Sunday morning, with the most powerful said to have reached 3.8 magnitude.
Yes. Yes I have. As a matter of fact I live in what's left of the caldera of what was once Koolau Mountain. Do you think there is a great similarity to the conditions of the Canary Islands? Would you like to start with a comparison of the size of the volcanoes and their structure?
Ever look into the massive flank collapses of the Hawaiian Islands in eons past?
I'd like to see that. I'm sorry that you're too lazy but since the Nuuanu landslides occurred more than a million years ago I would be interested in learning more.
Evidence of the Aleutians being over-washed.
