From a 2001 scientific publication: Geological evidence suggests that during a future eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the Island of La Palma may experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, drop- ping 150 to 500 km 3 of rock into the sea. Using a geologi- cally reasonable estimate of landslide motion, we model tsu- nami waves produced by such a collapse. Waves generated by the run-out of a 500 km 3 (150 km 3) slide block at 100 m/s could transit the entire Atlantic Basin and arrive on the coasts of the Americas with 10-25 m (3-8 m) height.

#2 ^Of course that publication may not be very reliable - they even published stuff of mine...

#3 10-25 Ft (3-8 m) height?

#4 "20-25 m probably reflects the terminal height of the waves expected on Florida's beaches."

Authors, models, math, algorithms...hard to fathom.
