In real life, the tsunami never would’ve made it hundreds of miles inland due to elevation levels (Atlanta would’ve survived), and even then, the shockwave/air blast from impact would’ve wiped out New York, DC, etc long before the wave showed up.

Scientists actually celebrated how accurately they portrayed how the impact effects (especially the tsunami) would be and it’s effects given the impact location and fragment size.

I remember seeing a simulation of a similarly sized fragment hitting the Gulf of Mexico (albiet slightly larger than the one in DI), and if the impact direction had a northernish vector the tsunami reached as far as Tennessee.

But I’m sure you calculated the psi of the blast wave from Cape Hatteras to New York to know better about what it would do.
