This is the very first of MY hearing anything about such a thing
--- but, anything is ALWAYS possible !
Is this something that she says that the website is claims is happening NOW -- or something they say is probable ?
Because, on the internet, you can find things that are SO far fetched that it simply boggles the mind to try and even Follow what they are driving at !!
And, it would not be the Tsunami that had the effect of "changing the earth's rotation" ect --- but the event that CAUSED the Tsunami that would do a thing like this -- and it would HAVE to be a Whopper !!!

The variation in daytime or night hours can happen only if the axis of the earth is tilted more than the present angle and this can not be caused by tsunami.The rotation of the earth will change only if the earth shrinks or expands from the present volume.This also can not be caused by the tsunami.In short,anything happening within the earth's surace can not bring about the above changes.Only an external force from the space can do this.

Frankly, the only change of rotation would be very very minuscule, as in the magnitudes of 1x10-5 seconds a day. We know this because the Sumatran Tsunami which had a tsunamigenic earthquake of over 9 caused a very small change to the rotation.
So no, nothing drastic will happen.
