An incredible difference. The only similarity between the two is that they are made natural causes. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air produced by a thunderstorm. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves produced by a non wind related event. Often that event is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.

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.
