2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake.[5][6] The resulting tsunami was given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, South Asian tsunami, Indonesian tsunami, the Christmas tsunami and the Boxing Day tsunami.[7] The earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 ft) high.[8] It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.

The power flickers and we moan. I look out the front door, just four hundred feet back from the beach. Then a small line of really brown water comes rolling toward us.

BANGKOK: Weaknesses remain in an Indian Ocean tsunami warning system, 10 years after the Boxing Day disaster that killed up to 230,000 people, experts say.
Many buoys used to transmit tsunami warning data have been lost or damaged in recent years, depleting the effectiveness of a $400 million system built across 26 countries, they say. In Thailand, where massive waves crashed ashore in 2004, killing 5400 people, the only two buoys deployed in the country's exclusive economic zone are not working. Thailand's National Disaster Warning Centre has confirmed that a satellite channel rental contract for the buoys expired last year and has not been renewed. Mr Smith urged Thailand's military rulers to review the country's disaster warning system that includes towers with loud speakers, despite progress made to alert residents to disasters over the past decade.

Although rare, tsunamis have the potential to cause considerable loss of life and injury as well as widespread damage to the natural and built environments. The objectives of this review were to describe the impact of tsunamis on human populations in terms of mortality, injury, and displacement and, to the extent possible, identify risk factors associated with these outcomes. This is one of five reviews on the human impact of natural disasters.
Methods. Data on the impact of tsunamis were compiled using two methods, a historical review from 1900 to mid 2009 of tsunami events from multiple databases and a systematic literature review to October 2012 of publications.
