10 years ago today, the magnitude 9.1 Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake spawned the deadliest tsunami in history, killing more than 230,000 people in 14 countries around the Indian Ocean. More than half of those killed had lived in Acheh Province, Sumatra, where the tsunami rose as high as 30 m (100 ft.) and traveled more than 4 km (2.5 mi.) inland in this low-lying region. The NOAA/NWS/Pacific Tsunami Warning Center published a video with a model animation of the devastating tsunami at https://youtube/watch?v=4yFNOuo_YxI&feature=youtu.be
