At first I thought, wtf, no way. Then I remembered my daughter was born in '04. She is in her 2nd year of college.

I work with an attorney (a young attorney) who had never heard of it. I was telling her about a guy I knew who survived it and she didn't know what I meant by "Boxing Day Tsunami" or "Indian Ocean Tsunami". So then she googled it and said "Thanks for ruining my day, Invader."

I vividly remember watching on TV. My grandmother lived near the beach, her house got flooded by this. Luckily, she was visiting us at the time.

TIL about the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed an estimated 224,000 people. It is not even not even in the top 10 for deadliest natural disasters in history.
