A big quake in the Canary Islands could create a tsunami which could hit the east coast of the USA.

While remote this Island caused two (it is thought). If I had property along/on the East Coast USA I would just double check with my insurance agent that Tsunami damage is covered...seriously....lol!

"A big quake in the Canary Islands could create a tsunami which could hit the east coast of the USA."

Yup! If that thing went down bad enough, I would NOT want to be on the NC Outer banks! I doubt there would even be any islands left if a tsunami were to hit that place.
