It is highly unlikely for a tsunami to hit West Virginia as it is a landlocked state located far from any major bodies of water or tectonic plate boundaries where tsunamis typically originate. Tsunamis are more commonly observed in coastal regions near oceans or seas.
The last tsunami to hit the US was in March 2011. The same tsunami that hit Japan also caused damage in Hawaii and along the U.S. West Coast. One person in California was killed.
It is highly unlikely for a tsunami to hit Arizona as the state is landlocked and far from any major bodies of water. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides near coastlines. Arizona does not have any of these geological features that would trigger a tsunami.
This tsunami traveled over half the globe across the Pacific Ocean. The first waves hit Hawaii about 9 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) Friday and traveled across the Pacific from Alaska to Chile. To see the global extent of the Japan Tsunami you should see this animation showing how the tsunami traveled. This video clip was created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
No. A tsunami is a phenomenon that occurs in the ocean. San Jose is close to the Pacific coast but not quite on it, so it is beyond the reach of tsunamis.

Theoretically, a tsunami could hit anywhere along Australia's coastline. The east coast is highly likely due to the position of a major fault line in New Zealand, and the west coast could also be hit because of the potential for seismic activity in the Indian Ocean.
yes

yes it hit Hawaii and the west coast of the United States
america's west coast and solomon islands
No
There are yet no instruments which could predict a Tsunami. So, it can't be told whether a tsunami will come or not.
The tsunami hit because of the earthquake shifted the ground and caused the tsunami.
"It was a relief to hear that no tsunami's would hit the west coast this weekend."
the tsunami hit in Lituya Bay, Alaska
The tsunami hit Japan's northeastern islands.
