Why no mention of the 1000km tsunami that hit the US East Coast June 13/2013?

You would think it would have been at least minor news:

German article on June 13 2013 US East Coast tsunami 1000km long

Here is the Google translation:

An amazing flood on the east coast of the United States stunned scientists. On the afternoon of 13 June, they have flooded beaches of Massachusetts to Carolina, reported the tsunami warning center.

The analysis of data has only now revealed that 30 buoys were recorded in quick succession increased water level in very different marine regions - the wave front would therefore have been at least one thousand kilometers wide. Now scientists have puzzled over what caused it.

Brian Coen was fishing in the Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. At half past three pm, the clock running tide suddenly have strengthened considerably, Coen reports to the U.S. Weather Service. The strong current had pulled into the open sea divers. Hastily he had untied his boat so it does not capsized. Two minutes later, the sea had withdrawn so far that rocks on the bottom were exposed, would otherwise be flooded.

I did a search and couldn't find any mention. If someone already started a thread, that search function has failed me once again and I have to say it is much worse than the old one and should go. It is the "New Coke" of search engines.

There have been threads about it in the past week.
Since there wasn't an earthquake associated with it, it has been treated more as a rogue wave which is thought to have formed due to atmospheric conditions.

Because it wasn't a big deal.

It was discussed here: Tsunami Strikes the Jersey Shore

It may have qualified as a tsunami, but it didn't cause much destruction. Maybe the definition needs to be re-evaluated in light of recent information received?

It is interesting, but as is the nature of America, unless it is a tragedy it largely goes unnoticed.

1000 kilometers would be just over 3,280,000 feet or roughly 622 miles.

I think a wall of water 622 miles high would be reported somewhere.

Okay, thanks guys, I figured as much.

Mods, that new search engine really sucks, the old one was better, see other comments in my OP.
