OK, so post the dates.



Sorry, you're gonna have to look it up yourself.


In other words, you can't provide any dates.

Do a little work.

Rest assured, this is not the first tsunami to hit India.


I have, this is the fisrt time a tsunami has hit India. If you have a
source that proves otherwise, then post it.

"One of the tsunamis, which arrived in the Tandjong Priok, Batavia (Jakarta)
at 12:36 on the 27th of August, was far larger than any of the others. These
waves had reported heights of more than 37 meters (120 feet).

They spread out into the Indian Ocean and struck the coast of India."

Here's another one:

"According to historical records the Coromandel Coast (Coast of eastern
India), the Ganga delta and Sri Lanka have experienced tsunamis with maximum
heights of 1.5 - 2.0 meters (1941 - Andamans earthquakes, 1883 - Krakatoa
volcanic eruption)."

Here's another source, to back those up:

(There's a date discrepancy between the sites for the Andamans earthquake.)
