16 miles, too deep for any thing significant.

You have to keep in mind this...

That area sank to the tune of 2-3 feet in elevation from the mega quake last month.

a 2-3 foot tsunami will carry much more weight then they have in the past.

usgs has combined into a single event, mag 7.1 with a depth of 30 miles.

Quakes of that size and depth are unlikely to generate a tsunami of any significance.

NOAA has no alerts posted.

If a tsunami has been generated, should be seeing evidence of it by now.
