The tsunami hit the Nicobar and Andaman Islands of India about 30 minutes after the Sumatra earthquake and mainland southern India after two hours, or 8:30am local time. Some people felt the tremor. Fishermen who were at sea felt the sea rise, slowly sink and observed the water turn dark then white. On the shores of some places a wall water taller than the trees washed ashore and carried away everything n its path and then sucked it out to seas. There cries shouts and people running. Many women grabbed a many children as they could.
As of March 2005, 10,700 people were listed as dead and 5,600 others were still missing. Around 650,000 were left homeless. Less of big deal was made about the victims in India perhaps because there were fewer of them than in other tsunami-hit countries and India is so used to major disasters.
Many locals blamed local gods and gods of the sea for the disaster. After the tsunami a volcano on Barren Island in the Andaman and Nicobar chain roared to life. It was the first time it had erupted since 1996. A mud volcano on Baratnag Island also erupted.
