It all depends on how it started and how big it is, but the force and destruction can move entire houses, trains, planes, and all things smaller that are in its path on shore both far inland or as the tsunami returns to the sea it can take these things far out to sea with it. There was an entire house floating way out in the Pacific Ocean after the Japanese tsunami of 2011.
