One of the benefits of living in the Midwest are barriers mountains on each side of us. Whichever story of island collapse you care to believe in either the Great Smoky Mountains or the Rockies sort of serve as the ultimate sand bag line for those of us in the middle.

I'll make sure the fan is off when it hits.
I think My family would be OK, but I shudder for the coastal people.

I was born with nothing,
with hard work and deligence I still have most of it
this week a lot less...must be a hole in my pocket
If it's Cali I just know some guys are going to be sitting on boards a half mile out waiting for the wave.

I think it's not a matter of 'belief'- it will happen eventually. Whether humans still inhabit the planet when that day comes will remain to be seen, but it's extremely likely that at least one of those islands will catastrophically split and collapse. There's a ton of evidence for past events like that including one that looks to have completely scoured the islands now referred to as Great Britain (probably back around 12,000 BCE, iirc).
I find stuff like this extremely interesting. There are lots of dangerous places in the US that no one thinks much about. Sadly we tend to think of things as remote or unlikely if they haven't happened in our lifetimes. There have been some profoundly powerful earthquakes in the Americas that occurred before ol' Paleface 'discovered' the continent. Of course, in pre-historic times an earthquake was merely frightening so long as you weren't killed by a tsunami or rockslide. But once we started to build large structures they became very dangerous.
I expect that eventually a really powerful hurricane will strike NYC. Again, maybe there won't be any humans left by then. But it's clear that hurricanes are possible at that latitude, and everything that's not impossible is inevitable...given enough time.
I wasn't suggesting it wouldn't happen only that we have big sandbags if it does.

With my luck,I would be vacationing in Westport when it hits.
Otherwise,I would be inland enough to avoid it.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Ah, shoot. It wouldn't have to go all that far inland.

It would suck for the National Archives, the Smithsonian and the LOC to get all wet. Always wondered why we keep our national treasures in a converted swamp.
No worries here. Far enough inland. But yeah, I'd be unlucky enough to be shore-fishing if that thing hit.

If we are to have another contest in…our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other…

If the tsunami reaches me in South Dakota everyone is screwed.
Looks like Florida might get damp.
I love the mountains of New Mexico, I'm at an elevation of 7,200 ft, so I'm not worried. I believe anyone who is planning on staying close to the ocean and low in elevation deserves what they get. Look at California, the same places get washed off the hills, slid down the hills in mud slides, or burned out almost every year. Is that smart? I think not. Some folks are going to die due to stupidity. I like my place all the more.
And in other news, geologists have determined the side of Mt. Kilauea could fall away triggering a huge tsunami of 7201 feet in height. Geologist Rock Cruncher said, "This whole big chunk of rock is gonna go plop in the ocean and send a wave toward the mainland that's sure to reach..heck...probably New Mexico. 'Course, anyone that lives below 7500 feet deserves what they get I guess."
I've been to New Mexico. You could die of boredom there.

I don't think that is gonna happen anytime very soon, though.
