I just did an impact calculation for the Hartley comet assuming it is ice and hits in about 3,000 feet of water about a 1,000 miles from the coast. Here is just the tsunami data:

The impact-generated tsunami wave arrives approximately 4.74 hours after impact. Tsunami wave amplitude is between: 5.49 meters ( = 18 feet) and 11 meters ( = 36 feet).
