It is a very deadly tidal wave; one of the most deadly in the world!
Tsunamis are nothing more than tidal waves. How deadly it is depends on where it makes landfall. If it hits no populated areas, then it is not deadly. If it strikes where recent tsunamis have struck in the Pacific, it can kill hundreds of thousands of people.
