Others cite geological evidence of Tsunamis coming ashore from sea quakes. An undersea volcano is an interest proposition … Do you have coordinates for this mysterious little puffer? If so, please forward. I will try to get to the USGS when they're not quite so busy and see what they have to say. If I find something, I'll send it right on back to you.
