Yes, very bad....but in the scheme of things it was just an average sized tsunami....10-30 feet high. It could've been much worse, especially if the quake had occurred closer to the face of the trench. If the face of the trench along the rupture had sloughed off, the wave could've been 100-300 metres high (the rupture was 500km long) on the coast there. There'd be nothing left of that part of Japan.
