Which is more powerful, a Tsunami or a hurricane ?

[/ QUOTE ]

They are the same thing. Hurricanes are in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific. Tsunamis are in the Western Pacific. Tsunamis have a tendency to get stronger; in fact, Typhoon Tip has the lowest pressure ever record at 870mb.

Katrina, which is now at 902mb, is the strongest hurricane ever in the GOM.

I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone corrected this already:

A Tsunami is a tital wave, usually caused by an earthquake. A typhoon is a hurricane that happens in the Pacific.
