When was the most devastating and deadliest tsunami?
Correct answer: December 26, 2004
Rachel
One of my cousins children was in Thailand at the time. They were supposed to go surfing that morning but overslept from being out at a party beforehand. They were on the 2nd floor of the holiday apartment and never heard anything, woke up to people yelling and walked out on the balcony to see the devastation. The bottom floor was full of water almost reaching their level. They were actually supposed to have the bottom apartment but due to an error ended up on top floor. Saved their lives!

The film (I think "The Impossible") depicting this devastation was mind blowing and heartbreaking 😭 RIP 🙏

Jonesy, please try to remember that God promised never to flood the earth again. Start in Genesis the end of chapter 6- 3:22 and Genesis 7-all the way to the end. And Genesis chapter 9 is a great example of Gods grace and mercy 🙏❤️🙏

Major Naive Cube, Boxing Day is December 26th. Called that because servants were given the day off and opened their gifts (boxes).

Player #65746695,
watched that movie 5 times and can watch again.

Of course it will happen again as is true for all natural disasters. They’ve been happening since the beginning of time because our planet is a living, evolving organism. It’s not due to anything we’re doing wrong, it’s just that we’ve made our homes in the natural path. That’s the part we might want to change.

Was it really an earthquake, or another meteor that was missed, as a few have been over the past 20 years..

you could argue that the one off the coast of Japan was at least as devastating due to the fact it knocked out the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant causing an incident comparable to Chernobyl, including irradiated water pouring into the ocean...
Mel
Player #28422752, I was in total shock when I was watching the news do an jaw dropping live report of that event. I sat in horror.
Jairo
it is astonishing the power of nature, it has the power to destroy all the human beings most that any weapon that the human could develop, nevertheless we continue causing damage in it.
Player Say what!?
NimuaeAvalon, I'm not a Christian, but the best response I can come up with for your great messages is, HALLELUJAH!
Player Say what!?
Rahimah_91, your response begs the question: Was it God's plan for those killed?

Easy to guess - more recent events have tended towards more catastrophic.

Rachel, the hotel Triton I honeymooned at in Sri Lanka 4 years earlier was totally swept away. Apparently sadly, lots of staff and guests were among the casualties

One of the most devastating calamities in our country, Indonesia. We have never fully mentally recovered from it, and till now always afraid of tsunami every time an earthquake happens. And in our volcanic country, believe me, earthquake is a common thing to happen.
Jenny
Col Joye - not sure that "God" was in control there! Are you saying there's a being in the sky who chose to save some people and chose to let thousands of others perish horribly? That's a strange kind of a god you've got there!

Rahimah_91, I think the hundreds of thousands of people who lost their lives might not think it was a great plan

Jill, I think the lives lost were far more important than material things, places can be rebuilt and replaced, lives can't
Robert
Player #84132418, lots of other coastal areas unreported lost of lives even in Malaysia and other remote Beaches.. sad .
