“...how long it would take for that megatsunami to reach the east coast.”
They figure 7 to 9 hours. It’s the worst-case wave size estimates that are all over the place, from around 3 feet to 100 feet. I wouldn’t want to be there if a wave is coming, but if I were living there, I’d have a few items packed and hit the road within 10 minutes of the landslide (assuming that I knew of the landslide when it happened). Then I’d head west to Naples, and only then turn north. Even at 100 feet, the wave will run out of gas pretty quickly in Florida, so I’d expect the west side to be safe(r).

We’re 75’ above sea level in Pinellas county. We’re in a no flood, non-evacuation zone. Just 300’ south we’ve got the highest point in Pinellas. You’re welcome to drop by in an emergency. ;-)
My nightmare scenario is having all the Miami trash coming over to Naples/Ft Myers- and staying!
Sounds good when you leave out the thousands of people with the same idea.
