Is 4" really a Tsunami?

From this article at the BBC. The Japanese have had another earthquake...7.2 this time...initial estimates are 80 people injured...not bad for a quake this big.

The part that struck me as funny, is about the TWO 4" tsunamies that "hit" the coast...and the mention that there probably wasn't any damage because of them. How did they distinguish them from a canoe wake...

I hope none of my friends there were injured...but in a country with about 10 bajillion people, the odds that a person that *I* know being hurt are pretty slim.
