In Indian Ocean, On Dec. 26, 2004, more than 230,000 people lost their lives in the deadliest tsunami in history. The lack of any warning system or proper education was evident as people were caught by surprise when tsunami waves flooded coastlines around the Indian Ocean basin. The Lituya Bay megatsunami caused damage at higher elevations than any other tsunami, being powerful enough to push water up the tree covered slopes of the fjord with enough force to clear trees to a reported height of 5

Today marks 21 years since the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami, triggered by a massive 9.1-magnitude undersea earthquake along the Indian–Burma plate boundary. The quake lasted nearly 10 minutes, unleashing waves that rose up to 30 metres and impacted 14 countries. Along India’s 4,500-km coastline, Tamil Nadu bore the heaviest toll — 7,993 lives lost and over 1.23 lakh homes destroyed. While buildings have been rebuilt and boats repaired, the grief remains unhealed. #IndianOceanTsunami #Tsunami
