Personally, I belive so as tsunamis are harder to escape from and they last longer. Also, tornadoes can be minor, unlike tsunamis which are GIGANTIC sea waves that cause mass destruction to countries (take the 2004 tsunami for instance).

What is worse a tsunami or a tornado and why?

How bad a tsunami or tornado is varies between individual events, but tsunamis are generally worse. While the worst damage of a tornado is usually limited to a small area, a tsunami can easily decimate hundreds of miles of coastline. The worst winds of a tornado usually only affect a given spot for a few seconds. Footage of the 2011 tsunami in Japan show that, in some places, water surged inland for as long as 15 minutes and took even longer to recede. Additionally, water is much denser than air and so can carry much more force. In a tornado you will probably escape harm if you have a few walls to shield you from the wind and debris. In a tsunami, even if you are not injured by the force of the water and debris, you can still drown.

Is a tsunami stronger tornado?

The two are a comparable as apples and oranges. Other than toting up the amount of kilojoules release by each, there is no way to compare the strength of a tsunami and a tornado. The two are quite unrelated. A tornado is a strong whirlwind. A tsunami is a powerful wave in the ocean, usually caused by earthquakes.
