The Tsunami
Thailand (Phuket) was one of the countries that was hit the hardest by the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami. Due to proximity of the Andaman coasts of Thailand situated just approximately 500 km east of the earthquake epicenter, the tsunami took just 2 hours to reach and strike the western coastline of the country.The Thai government reported 4,812 confirmed deaths and 8,457 injuries form the tsunami. There was 4,499 missing after the country was hit by the tsunami.
The tsunami caused by the Indian Ocean earthquake on the 26 of December 2004. The Thai authorities estimate that at least 8,150 are likely to have died.250 people were reported dead, including tourists.
The tsunami struck the west coast of Phuket island, flooding and causing damage to almost all the major beaches such as Patong, Karon, Kamala, and Kata beach.There was no warning of the first wave so people had no idea it was coming.
(For someone who don't know what a Tsunami is, a Tsunami is actually a series of waves, best described as a "wave train")
