Calamitous wave (7)

I believe the answer is:

tsunami

(Other definitions for tsunami that I've seen before include "Long sea wave" , "Seismic sea wave" , "Huge wave caused by earth tremor" , "Great, fast-moving sea wave" , "Marine natural disaster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
