It depends on what measure you use. If you mean a tsunami in deep ocean water, then no. In the deep ocean a tsunami can move at up to 600 mph. A tornado typically moves at about 30 mph, rarely exceeding 70 mph. Tornadic winds can get to something over 300 mph. If you mean a tsunami near shore, possibly. Near shore a tsunami may slow to a few tens of miles per hour, though the speed depends on the topography.

Tornadoes have an average forward speed of 35 mph.

What do you do in a tsunami attack?
A hovercraft is good against a tsunami. It can go faster than a tsunami no matter how big it's waves are.
Are tsunamis deadlier than hurricanes?
No, Hurricanes are not stronger than tsunamis! Tsunamis are water waves than piles up to one giant wave that lasts about eight hours wiping out a whole island. Then they pick back up and keeps going to wash out other islands. Once a tsunami hit Hawaii and went to japan which is on the other side of the earth around eight hours which is faster than a jet!
What is faster a hurricane or tornado?
In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.
Is a supercell stronger than a hurricane?
No. While the winds in a tornado spawned by a supercell may be faster than those in any hurricane, a supercell is small compared to a hurricane and so, as a whole, is less powerful in terms of energy released.
Can a tsunami move faster than a cheetah?
In open ocean, yes. A cheetah can move at 60 to 70 mph. A tsunami in open ocean can move at 500 to 600 mph.

Is a hurricane bigger than a tsunami?
They are completely different phenomena and cannot be compared in such a manner
Is the tsunami wave stronger than the hurricane?
Yes, the tsunami wave is stronger than the hurricane. The tsunami wave is a huge pile of water that can travel on land like one of the tsunami wave hit the states of Hawaii on march 11, 2010 off the west coast of the United States after Japan earthquake. Hurricanes are strong enough to blow houses, vehicles and boats away but then have to go back to the water to get more strength but the tsunami wave just continue traveling without having to go back to the water. The tsunami wave is much stronger than the hurricane and it is big enough to crush the whole entire building.
Is a tornado worse than a hurricane?
The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.
Are tsunamis deadlier than hurricanes?
No, Hurricanes are not stronger than tsunamis! Tsunamis are water waves than piles up to one giant wave that lasts about eight hours wiping out a whole island. Then they pick back up and keeps going to wash out other islands. Once a tsunami hit Hawaii and went to japan which is on the other side of the earth around eight hours which is faster than a jet!

Will the eye of the tsunami automaticly freeze anything in its path?
No. For one thing, a tsunami does not have an eye. A tsunami is a massive wave usually triggered by an earthquake. You may be confusing it with a hurricane or typhoon. The eye of a hurricane does not freeze anything. In fact, the air in the eye is a bit warmer than the surrounding air. The freezing eye scenario presented in The Day After Tomorrow is utterly ridiculous.
You have an eye but cannot see you are stronger and faster than many alive but have no limbs What are you?
A Hurricane.
Which has a faster air pressure fall between a hurricane or tornado?
A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.
Is a supercell stronger than a hurricane?
No. While the winds in a tornado spawned by a supercell may be faster than those in any hurricane, a supercell is small compared to a hurricane and so, as a whole, is less powerful in terms of energy released.
Can a tsunami move faster than a cheetah?
In open ocean, yes. A cheetah can move at 60 to 70 mph. A tsunami in open ocean can move at 500 to 600 mph.
How do hurricanes form tornadoes?
When a hurricane makes landfall it weakens rapidly, with the winds at lower levels weakening faster than those at upper levels. This difference in wind speed creates wind shear, which can cause the thunderstorms in the rain bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotating can then tighten and intensify to form tornadoes.
