The Canary Island flank collapse scenario threatening the East Coast of the US has been thoroughly debunked by the wider community of tsunami scientists; collapse tsunamis have difficulty propagating long distances.
Much of the original science in that was flawed. Of course, the media never bothered to tell you about the many scientists that debunked the original highly publicized theory.
By any conceivable measure the tsunami threat to Southern Italy and Sicily is orders of magnitude greater than that to the east coast of the US.
Nah.

[snip] The southwestern flank of the island isn’t likely to fall into the sea (potentially causing a tsunami) for at least another 10,000 years, professor Jan Nieuwenhuis states in the September edition of the university’s science magazine Delft Integraal. [end]

[snip] Dr Russell Wynn said, “The Canary Islands are volcanic islands that collapse at regular intervals in geological time. However, it is important to remember that in the last 200,000 years there have only been two major landslides on the flanks of the Canary Islands. At SOC we have studied previous Canary Islands landslides to understand how they move, and have found good evidence to show that the landslides actually break up and fall into the sea in several stages.
