Of course if bush says there is, then there must be tidal waves in New York. But now Obama has controlled the oceans so much with is 900 billion bucks that there can't be a tidal wave.
Hope this helps,

Yes, a tsunami can hit New York, but it is highly unlikley. Because of the way tectonic plates are shifting, not many earthquakes happen in the Atlantic Ocean (earthquakes are the epicenter of the tsunami). The Atlantic ocean is actually shrinking because the Pacific Ocean is expanding (tectonic plates are spreading) and thats why more tsunamis hit asia. Actually, tsunamis can hit California, but where the ocean is growing is closer to asia, so when the 360 degree wave spreads, it breaks up in the ocean because of the longer distance to travel to California. So the answer to your question is no.

Potentially. Tsunamis are rare in the Atlantic, but they can happen and there are concerns for the potential of a tsunami to hit the East Coast.

It is very possible, but unlikely. Tsunamis and earthquakes usually hit around the west coast.

No. Hurricane Katrina is what flooded the city.
