Well there are alot of things that a tsunami can do to people and towns. There are some people who have had to rebuild their whole lives because of them. They tear down houses and flood out places like people's homes and precious places that they love. People can also die of being washed away or maybe crushed by something that has toppled over. There are lots of unexpected things that may happen because of these, but unless you experience one, you don't really understand how devestating they can be!
Tsunamis can make buildings move under the current of water so you should get to high land if there is one coming.You can tell if one is coming , because the tide goes out for a long time.
