No. A tornado is at most 2.5 miles wide and only a handful have been observed at over 2 miles. A tsunami, by contrast, can impact a shoreline thousands of miles long.

Is a tsunami larger than a tornado?

In terms of area of effect, yes. A tsunami may impact hundreds or thousands of miles of coastline as a tsunami spreads across the ocean like ripples on a pond. By contrast a tornado is limited to a damage path that is rarely more than a mile wide or more than 20 miles long.
