Tsunami's are not weather, they are often mis-called "tidal waves" and they are no respecters of hemispheres. They are caused by earthquakes under or near the ocean. (Usually, there can be other causes, like a big ass rock from space splashing down. :) ) Maybe you were thinking of Typhoons? That's what Tropical Cyclones that get big enough are called in the Western Pacific and Indian oceans In the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific, they are called Hurricanes. :)
