No. Hurricanes produce large waves, but these are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are the result of the movement of the ground underwater, such as with and earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption and have completely different dynamics from storm driven waves.

∙ 11y agoNo. Hurricanes and tsunamis are two completely different things.
A hurricane is a type of powerful storm that forms over tropical ocean water, and produces heavy rain, sustained winds of at least 74 mph, large waves, and a wind-driven storm surge.
A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually triggered by an undersea earthquake or landslide. Tsunami waves are very different from wind-driven waves such as those found in hurricanes. A tsunami wave has a much longer wavelength than a wind driven wave, and so will carry much more water, and carry much more force.
By comparison with a tsunami, a storm surge is vastly more predictable because the calculations are based on wind speed and the internal pressure of the cyclone. But both present a threat of coastal inundation over a wide area.
