Yes there has been a recorded evidence of a Mega Tsunami at Lituya bay Alaska in 1958 from an earthquake that caused a landslide causing a Mega Tsunami that was 1,740 feet high. Two men and one boy witness this Mega Tsunami live to tell about it. Two people that were on the third boat died from the impact of the Mega Tsunami while the other two boats rode the wave.

Yes. Prehistoric meteor impacts have produced the biggest, some of them well several miles high.

More recent events have produced megatsunamis as well, though not quite as big. The largest in recorded history struck Lityua Bay, Alaska on June 9, 1958. It was 1720 feet (520 meters) high. Fortunately the wave was in a remote area and damage was mostly limited to trees along the coast

It is impossible to know when the next megatsunami will be until it happens.
