Perhaps we are talking about different things. You might be talking about the tsunami they got in Hawaii which would have been far, far less.

The one in Alaska that traveled across the bay was 500 feet higher than the Empire State Building!

1958 Lituya Bay earthquake and megatsunami

(I normally don't reference Wikipedia for anything, but I think this is pretty solid.

Ah. I stand corrected...that wave was “only” 100 feet high and the wash up went up that high, which makes sense.
