So many didn't realize that was the warning sign of what was coming. I still remember watching it on the news, some tourist standing out on the sand and seeing a wall of water towering over them. They just turned their back to the water and disappeared into it.

Backwards waves is probably never good unless they are the cute ones in lagoons like Bora Bora because of the small atolls being close together. On a coast or harbor there shouldn't be a large sudden shift in water going out to sea (where it is being sucked in and feeding the roaring water heading inland).

As a kid, I hyper-fixated on disasters and spectacle I loved tornados, watching nuclear bombs blow up, sinkholes, whirlpools and big monsters and sea creatures and stuff, just for the cool factor. Hearing about tsunamis was underwhelming, I wanted big tidal waves engulfing massive cities, upon discovering it was, well what looked to be a bit of water I lost interest. As I grew up and was educated about the realities of our domain, I soon learned that a Tsunami wasn’t a bit of water, I discovered this: The sheer eeriness of the fact that the earths tectonic plates sometimes collide and just push on each other, just like any other planet with plate tectonics, and sometimes thousands and thousands of miles of the earths lithosphere gets pushed into the the molten mantle at speeds sometimes way faster than fighter jets, displacing insane amounts of water and reducing the storage capacity of entire oceans and our puny little body’s barely pushing 7ft in the most extreme cases just sometimes gets caught up in that sheer power. That is so much more scary.

I was in Cape Verde, and learned about tsunami waves that were 80+m high...I was VERY surprised to learn they go that high, so started researching. Discovered a long ago meteorite strike, with a 300+m high wave! Seemed almost impossible. But no. The highest tsunami wave we know was an even bigger meteorite/comet strike, with a wave OVER 1,500m high!!! A wave that high, is going to TOTALLY destroy even a MASSIVE coastal city, and go inland, for miles and miles and miles. CRAZY to think about!

When the earthquake stuck, it displaced billion of tons of water above, causing two different types of waves to form at the epicentre. In the eastern direction towards Thailand, etc. the fault ruptured was pulled down, (subsided) forming a trench of water, (trough) creating a so-called "negative" wave, all the waves travelling East led with this "trough". As this "negative" wave approached the shore the water near the shore receeded, allowing the waves to come in like a flood. However, to the West towards Sri Lanka, etc. the story was very different, (fault uplifting). There was no treach formation, just a "positive" wave, (crest comes first) with no receeding, just a massive wall of water hitting into the shore.

After the fact. People weren't educated on the surge and receding characteristics of tsunamis back then. Nowadays people have wised up - what goes out must come back in, multiple times

I think this is the first video of the 2004 tsunami that everyone has taken the high ground. Did they have warning systems? Did someone have knowledge about earthquakes and tsunamis and give a warning? I am glad they heeded whatever it was, and survived.

Yo vivi ese tsunami, estaba haciendo un trabajo casualmente para esas áreas Si me pides una palabra para contar cómo sucedió todo, elegiría inesperado. No recibimos nunca una alerta. Nada. El 26 de diciembre estábamos hospedados en un hotel cerca de la bahía, desde donde se tomaban pequeños botes de excursión para turistas. La playa donde estábamos no tenía arena. Era una zona de puras rocas. Fue ahí, justo en el medio del mar, a unos 80 o 100 metros desde la costa, donde nos agarró la ola. Recuerdo estar en la balsa y que hacía un día precioso, muy lindo. Fue en cuestión de segundos. Todo empezó a moverse, tembló el fondo de la balsa. El siguiente recuerdo que tengo es el de una gran explosión en la que todos salen despedidos por el aire. Eso nunca lo olvidaré eso fue algo inimaginable, sentir la potencia de la tierra y nosotros tan vulnerables. Saludos cordiales desde Panamá 🇵🇦

It seems like the waves are smashing the shore and then goes back to the ocean to gain more power, unlike what they show in the movies that it's just a huge wave, no, it gives several wave warnings before the huge one make it to land.
