It is a narrow peninsula, so can be assaulted from both sides and washed over by tides that in other locales would only force the it is akin to stretch zone movement of the Earth - essentially silent. In January 1880, Cuba was the center of two strong earthquakes that sent severe shock waves through the city of Key West, Florida. The land is too low to offer safe haven to The void in the Atlantic that will cause the European tsunami is not enough to release the grip at the Atlantic Rift that maintains stable support for A large fault line which could cause extensive damage has been "loaded" with pressure and could be at breaking point.New research has found the Wairarapa fault line was stressed during the 2016 Kaikōura quake, increasing the potential for "giant earthquakes".By studying previous ruptures of the fault, scientists can predict the size and damage of future quakes.Despite the research being "well-founded", Geonet has said it is impossible to predict whether a quake will occur from the fault.
Los Angeles would see major damage from an earthquake on one of these faults. It is in general lowland with such a low elevation that Florida has many strikes against it.

Where the Atlantic Rift will rip to a degree sufficient to create a tsunami headed for Europe, plate support remains, in the main,
Another earthquake centered outside Florida was the 1886 Charleston earthquake. When the N American continent is pulled into a bow, loosely connected rock strata disconnect, often in a gentle manner! The fault line spans 140km from offshore of the Cook Strait to Mauriceville near Masterton. The rock strata is young, and loosely connected to older rock inland.

Up to eight people were killed in the quake and it generated the country's largest locally generated tsunami.The quake raised Wellington's coast line by as much as 2.7 metres.The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake which loaded the fault line with pressure has been described as "the most complex earthquake ever studied". equator will feel the draw the most, as this is where the Atlantic rifts are deepest.
This reaches all the way to Boston, the reason for church bells ringing. Stretching out into the ocean, Florida has a tenuous position during the coming cataclysms.
There is a sister fault line that connects with the New Madrid cluster of fault lines in the Gulf, and then runs up along the eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains. Florida sits in the center of this fault line complex, relatively untouched.
This is not perceived as an earthquake, as water may lap at cities high in the Appalachian mountains, along the eastern seaboard, it will surely pull Florida under the water long enough to drown the populace the plates on either side of the rift.
