Depends on how far inland, what is in the way of the flood and 26 foot doesn't sound much but it is at least above sea level.

Exactly this. As long as I was inland and over 20 feet above sea level, I wouldn't be too worried.

"In some places a tsunami may cause the sea to rise vertically only a few inches or feet. In other places tsunamis have been known to surge vertically as high as 100 feet (30 meters). Most tsunamis cause the sea to rise no more than 10 feet (3 meters).

The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 caused waves as high as 30 feet (9 meters) in some places, according to news reports. In other places witnesses described a rapid surging of the ocean."
