While it's certainly a possibility, it's pretty unlikely. Major tsunamis are rare to begin with and require some pretty unique earthquake conditions. Plus, the difference between an 8.2 (which is what they are now calling this one) and a 9.0, which is what caused the last tsunami, is significant. The Richter scale is logrithmic, meaning that each whole number step is actually an increase in a facter of 10. So a 9.0 is 10 times as strong as an 8.0.
But, that being said, it can't hurt to hope for the best.
