Add to ORKGNo one was aware and no one was prepared when the first waves of the tsunami struck Sri Lanka’s east coast at 6:40 a.m. on 26 December 2004. The tsunami was not done. It was still roaring and thought it would be much later before it thundered across Sri Lanka’s western coast, even then, no warning message was sent out. As a result, more than 35,000 people lost their lives. via: http://www.asia-pacific.undp.org/content/rbap/en/home/ourwork/crisispreventionandrecovery/tsunami-10/SrLanka-Alert
