The wave will start sounding when the depth equals half of the wavelength. For tsunamis, that wavelength is pretty long, and the wave might only be a meter or two at most in the deeper ocean. In the shallows, it is a question of how high the water can pile up. No one really knows what, if any, maximum height there is, but heights in excess of 100 ft. have been recorded.

A hundred foot high wave is bad, but as important is how far inland the water would go. Any calculations for that?
