A tsunami has never hit the US because we don't get too many Earthquakes. The earthquakes trigger the water deep inside.. then everything comes flowing up, and gets bigger and bigger. Then, the ocean's mass becomes too much which causes it to overflow, and that's when the ocean comes flowing out to land.. we do live near big masses of water, but we don't get too many earthquakes.
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.
A tsunami happens most often at Hawaii.
Yes, the United States has experienced tsunamis. Most recently, a tsunami struck the Pacific coast of the United States in 1964 following a massive earthquake in Alaska. Tsunamis can result from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslide events that displace significant amounts of water.
Let us put it this way..The last time in 2004 the richter scale hit 9.1 and it took a 18 hour calibration level to hit us here in India..Now we have a 8.9 hit around 39.3 kms from the earlier spot and if the vibrations are strong enough to reach interior parts of Central chennai...Hmmm.....oh well never a doomsayer be ....

the answer is no because the US has not gotten hit by a nuclear device
