See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-DJkj5yr9E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-DJkj5yr9E for a computer simulation of the Etna megatsunami that hit the Mediterranean 8,000 years ago. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQcpys0QHmA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQcpys0QHmA for a different simulation that focuses on just the hardest hit areas. (The two simulations are of different models of the event with very different wave sizes. I have no idea which one is closer to what happened.)
