There are a number of ways to generate a tsunami including Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear explosions), landslides and other mass movements, meteorite ocean impacts or similar impact events, and other disturbances above or below water.
So yes it is possible for a tsunami to happen in the Atlantic.
