no we never have, becasue usually these are small tremors.
the Tidal waves seem to be more common in the Pacitic than in the Atlantic.
With a large earthquake occurring or a volcano erupting, it certainly is a possibility that a tsunami could occur., however.
I took the following from this link
http://poseidon.uprm.edu/
"Lander et al. (2002) reported that since 1498 there have been 91 “tsunamis” in the Caribbean region. Among them, Lander et al. has verified that twenty-seven are true, verifiable tsunamis and additional nine wave events are considered to be very likely true tsunamis. In fact, in the Caribbean Sea region we have all of the potential tsunami-generating sources: submarine earthquakes, subaerial or submarine landslides, and underwater explosions. According to Jansma and Mattioli (2003), Puerto Rico and the northern Virgin Islands sit within a broad zone of deformation between two larger plates: the North American to the north and the Caribbean to the south. This separate microplate moves approximately 15 mm/yr relative to North America and 3 mm/yr relative to the Caribbean. This means that offshore faults along which earthquakes can occur must separate Puerto Rico from both the North American and Caribbean plates. The landslide-tsunami threat for the island comes from the existence of the Puerto Rico Trench just north of the island, along which there is evidence of a large slump, with a potential volume of approximately 900-1500 km3 (Schwab et al., 1993; Grindlay, 1998) and many other smaller ones (ten Brink and Smith, 2003). Finally, the underwater explosion tsunami threat comes from the presence of an active underwater volcano, called Kick’em Jenny, which lies at the southeastern Caribbean just north of the island of Grenada. "
so anything is possible!
