The Great Asian tsunami was on Sunday the 26th of December 2004
The 2004 Asian tsunami was triggered by an undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean, affecting several countries in South and Southeast Asia, while the 2011 Japanese tsunami was caused by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan. The 2004 tsunami resulted in more widespread devastation and casualties across multiple countries, whereas the Japanese tsunami primarily impacted Japan's northeastern coastline. The 2011 Japanese tsunami also led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster due to damage caused to nuclear power plants, while such an incident did not occur during the 2004 Asian tsunami.
lots of property, possessions and lives as well as land was lost or destroyed. the government went to great efforts to get the countries back on track.
great loss of life, destruction of infrastructure eg. Roads, many injured and made homeless, destruction of homes and buildings eg tourist resorts, sometimes whole villages can be swept away like in the Asian 2004 tsunami.
Tsunamis have been striking America but not of the magnitude of 2004 Asian Tsunami or 2011Japan Tsunami. But still there are no such instruments or devices which could predict a tsunami or an earthquake.
The short-term seefects WERE death for many people, injury and homelessness for many more.

It is unknown how many people were killed in the Asian tsunami. Up to 275,000 people were believed to have been killed, with at least 128,000 of them in Indonesia alone. So if you are Indonesian you probably don't like the Asian tsunami or people who call it the Aaian Tsunami.
