Natural Disasters

I have recentley come across an article in a magazine about the tsunami in Thailand on December 26th, 2004. This tsunami is known to be one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. This tsunami killed tens of thousands of people in 11 countries. It is estimated to have released the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs. This tsunami had waves as high as 50 feet in some places.
