The tsunami can flood as fast as a commercial jet plane.
There are various factors that determine how far inland a tsunami can go. Here is a list of factors involved: The terrain of the land and the height of the tsunami wave. If the land is mountainous the tsunami would probably not go very far; however, if it is lowland, it may wash inland for several kilometers.Another important factor in a tsunami is the volume of water displaced. It is not the height of a tsunami that gives it momentum over land, but the length.The angle at which the tsunami reaches land and the geographical shape of the coastline: A concave coastline will suffer more damage than a convex coastline that can deflect the water movement.Land forms slow them down considerably. The distance travelled inland is directly related to the change in elevation.Note, an earthquake's impact, in the form of tsunamis, can also travel halfway around the world in the ocean. For instance, the earthquake off the shore of Japan in 2011 created tsunamis reaching the United State's pacific coast line.The 2011 Tsunami in Japan Most scientists reported that the 33-foot tsunami wave made it 6 miles inland, with washed up shrapnel and water reaching 10 miles or more inland.
Mega-tsunamis - tsunamis that are extraordinarily huge - are said to be able to travel as far as 25 kilometers inland.More tsunami tidbits from our users:Landforms slow them down considerably. The distance traveled inland is directly related to the change in elevation.
"The tsunami waves reached run-up heights (how far the wave surges inland above sea level) of up to 128 feet (39 meters) at Miyako city and traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) in Sendai." (quoted from LiveScience website)

it cant there are no volcanoes or earthquakes in florida i should know i lived there

35m
One very important step that can be taken to survive a tsunami is to go as far inland as possible. Islands in the path of the tsunami should be evacuated.
35m
I presume you mean how far INLAND did the tsunami travel before stopping or retreating.That would depend on the topography ( look it up!!) of the affected area and the power contained in the wave at the point of striking the shoreline. In other words, the closer to the earthquake centre, generally the bigger and more dangerous the wave.AdditionallyIt was reported that the 33ft (10m) Tsunami wave triggered on March 11, 2011 off the coast of Japan made it 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland with washed up debris and water reaching distances of 10 miles or more inland.
31 miles is 163,680 feet. At that altitude, there is almost no air pressure, and it is intensely cold. Your tsunami would attempt to boil (due to low air pressure) while it was freezing (about -90 degrees F). The falling ice would probably go a few hundred miles inland. Interesting question, though. Why 31 miles high?
Most of it flushes back out into the ocean, but some remians on the land in flooding area and inland lakes.
