Why are there no actual videos of any hundreds of feet high tsunamis?

Any tsunami video I look at barely looks like a 20 feet wave hitting shore. But wikipedia tells me there have been dozens of 100+ feet tsunamis even in the last 10 years.

A tsunami isn’t a wall of water the height of a skyscraper towering over a city. That’s not how it works. tsunami waves like the 2004 one hit the shore with the height of maybe 2 cars stacked onto each other.

A tsunami is sort of analogous to floodwaters, except it’s flowing from the direction of the ocean.
