A tsunami is a tidal wave, caused by an earthquake under the sea. The shock waves spread out in a huge circle from the epicenter and roll up on the beaches as they did in Thailand and Sri Lanka and many other places recently. You can have a tsunami with blue sky and sunny weather.

A hurricane is a tropical rotating rainstorm that develops round an area of very low pressure. The winds swirl round and round, pulling energy from the warm water below. They only develop in the tropics. If they hit land the results can be devastating, as in New Orleans.
