Bigger waves come in faster and winds become salty and stronger.
The first sign is a rapid drop in the sea level.
No. At the the time there was no tsunami warning center in the Indian Ocean. They received no warning. The first indication anyone in Indonesia got was the ocean receding before the tsunami struck, but most people did not know that this was a sign of a tsunami.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center estimated first arrival around 7 1/2 hours after the quake, or around 3:15am HST.
Indonesia was the first country to be hit by the tsunami. It took place off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The epicentre for this was off the west coast of Sumatra. The other countries that were hit by this were: India (western coast), Burma, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Andobar and Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Maldives, Seychelles, Malaysia and countries on the Eastern coast of East Africa - patricularly Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania.

Obviously, the earthquake happens first and then tsunami follows.
It was the first direct contact between the Chinese Empire and Europe since the Journeys of Marco Polo
My very first indication that I need to urinate is when it is spreading out in my diaper.
The earthquake was first and caused the tsunami, like when you throw a stone into a pond first and then the ripples go out.
The effect we now call tsunami has been happening since there have been oceans on the planet Earth (billions of years). There was no "First Tsunami"; the Japanese have been calling the effect 'tsunami' for many centuries.
It hit Sumatra at 13mins past 1am on the 26th December 2004, 15mins after the initial shock. It then went on the hit Indonesia, and the east coast of Africa.
No. It is only one of many times that an earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. Earthquakes in subduction zones such as the one of the coast of Japan often trigger tsunamis. The March 2011 earthquake, at magnitude 9.0, was the strongest on record in Japan though.
