It would be sheer coincidence if they did. A tornado is primarily a land storm. There can be a tornado over the surface of water (called a waterspout), but either way, tornadoes have nothing to do with tsunamis, which are caused by undersea quake movements.
The word "Tsunami" comes from the Japanese words "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave), as tsunamis are typically generated by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that cause powerful ocean waves. The "T" in tsunami reflects its origin and pronunciation in the Japanese language.
No. A tsunami and a tornado are two completely different things. A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. A tornado is a violent vortex of air that forms during a thunderstorm. A tornado that forms on water is called a waterspout.
Yes. There is a tsunami watch is issued if a tsunami may impact an area. A tsunami advisory is issued if a tsunami poses a threat to areas in or along the water. A tsunami warning is issued if a tsunami is expected to cause widespread flooding.
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.
The one that you are nearest to. All are dangerous depending on their location.
Niether. In the unlikely event that a tornado and a tsunami met, the tornado would go right over the tsunami and neither would be significantly affected.
a tsunami for sure, a tornado is just going to throw me to the united states, riding a tsunami has better chances of living than a 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.
No Tsunamis are not formed by wind events
No. Tsunamis and tornadoes are completely unrelated phenomena.
because it can kill (e.g.lightning,tornado,and tsunami)
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.
