Earthquakes and Tsunami Hazard Research
December 26, 2004
On Sunday, December 26, 2004 at 07:58 (UTC) a series of about 15 earthquakes occurred one after another along the west coast of Sumatra. A tsunami fanned out across the Bay of Bengal, reaching the shorelines of Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives within the next three hours. Virtually no warning was available. Current estimates put the death toll at close to 150,000. Millions more are at risk from disease and starvation. |
