The use of the word seems to imply worsening of the storms and natural phenomena. Politically Motivated?

Today we do not have tidal waves, we have tsunamis. For now this seems to be adequate, but I'm sure the future will bring huge tsunamis, then massive tsunamis and super tsunamis.
I do think the term tsunami is here to stay, and the term tidal wave may go away in a few generations.
