“…a rare catastrophic event that may prove such storms are possible on the East Coast.”
Tsunamis are not storms. They are massive movements of seawater caused by earthquakes (like the one in the Indian Ocean a few years back), underwater landslides, meteor strikes, etc. That’s why the scientist is quoted as saying it was “one heck of a storm” only “if we’re wrong” about it being a tsunami.
Also, scientists have never doubted that tsunamis are possible along the east coast. There is disagreement about how often they occur in the region, but not about whether they occur at all.
