Physics protects against that. Tsunamis take a massive volumetric shift to happen, and the total planetary arsenal would barely do the job

Oh yeah. You might swamp a beach, but only at relatively close range. Maybe a few miles offshore and favorable geography you could flood downtown. Also, 100MT is going to be a huge warhead. Like, front end of a sub huge. Look up Tsar Bomba if you get bored
