A tsunami is suspected to have occured after the 1580 Dover earthquake, which some scientisits believed caused an undersea landslide which triggered a tsunami, which was previously put down to seiches. This is a potential future trigger of a tsunami in Kent, although another more relistic one is an earthquake off Portugal, where one occured in 1755 and sent a tsunami to Cornwall, although if the waves did reach Kent they would probably be quite small.
