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.

Lots of posts are close but your responses indicate you still have questions.
Think of a tsunami as rising sea levels rather than a wave. As if the sea level suddenly became 100 ft higher.
As far as I know, there have not been tsunamis in areas with really tall buildings near the shore. That’s probably why you’re not finding the types of photos you’re expecting. People in areas that experience tsunamis don’t build really tall buildings near the water. But if you have a house that’s 100 ft above sea level facing the ocean, a tsunami would make it beach front property briefly (along with a tremendous amount of debris).
