It is my understanding that Tidewater Virginia and eastern North Carolina 
are part of the same plate in plate tectonics, so such a movement is 
practically inconceivable.  Island do not float in the water, they are 
essentially mountains that are rooted like all the Earth in their particular 
plates, with islands being those parts that stick up out of bodies of water.

Climate change, flooding, etc., are problems in meteorology:  The movements 
of igneous, sedimentary, and/or metamorphic rock are problems in geology.
