The term tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave. It is a natural phenomenon
consisting of a series of large waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly
displaced in a massive scale. Earthquakes landslides volcanic eruptions -all have the
potential to generate a tsunami. Early morning on December 26 2004 a massive
earthquake of 9 on the Richter scale off the coast of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean
triggered a series of lethal tsunamis. They struck the shores of Indian Ocean nations like
Indonesia Thailand Sri Lanka Malaysia India Bangladesh and the Maldives and created
unprecedented devastation. Even the far flung countries like Somalia Kenya and
Tanzania in eastern Africa were not spared. This is the deadliest tsunami in recorded
history and is considered the worst natural calamity the earth has ever witnessed. The
tsunami fury left trails of death and destruction all around killing nearly 3 00 000 people
and leaving millions homeless and missing. Many people became maimed for life. The
death toll was more than 170 000 in Indonesia alone 38 000 in Sri Lanka and nearly 5
000 in Thailand. Most of the dead were locals but hundreds of vacationing foreigners
also perished mostly in Phuket in Thailand. In India about 19 000 people lost their lives.
