There is little likelihood of any effect at all at Treasure Island, the quake is a long ways away and in the extremely unlikely event of a wave persisting that far across the Pacific, there would be ample warning as they are looking for any such wave.

The worst case scenarios are all for the local area and might include the unstable flank of a volcano sluffing off into the sea and creating a bad wave. A rise in the sea floor could create some smaller waves and a relatively shallow quake like this could give rise to something.

All that is the reason for the warning system that Southeast Asia should have been, but wasn't hooked up to. That lack of warning made the Asian Tsunami so deadly.
