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.

Same thing??? A tsunami is a form of tidal wave usually caused by the shifting of plates/earthquakes in open water... You may be thinking of typhoons?

Ah, my fault. I was thinking of typhoons.
