How did the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake cause so much damage if it occurred in the middle of the Indian Ocean?

Most of the damage from the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was from the tsunami it triggered rather than the earthquake itself. When the earthquake occurred it caused the seafloor to shift upwards, displacing an enormous column of water. This caused a wave to race across the ocean that came ashore in many locations as a surge of water with enough force to sweep away entire buildings.
