2004年12月26日世界协调时00：58：50/国际标准时间上午06：28：50，苏门答腊岛近海发生9.0级地震。震中位于北纬3.29°，东经95.94°，震源深度30公里。这次地震产生了巨大的海啸波，摧毁了安达曼群岛和尼科巴群岛、印度东海岸、印度南喀拉拉邦以及印度洋上的斯里兰卡、印度尼西亚、泰国和索马里等其他几个国家。海啸夺去了这些国家超过25万人的生命。这次地震的余震有250多次，震级为5≤M<；7.3级，从南至苏门答腊岛，北至安达曼群岛和尼科巴群岛，长达1 300公里，直到2005年1月30日。海啸发生后立即进行了一次海啸准备调查，以研究海啸破坏、淹没区域，并根据易腐烂的证据，如房屋上的水印和向内陆运输的海洋垃圾，估计海啸高度。这份通报介绍了泰米尔纳德邦沿海地区不同地点海啸高度的结果。
An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred off the coast of Sumatra on 26 December 2004 at 00:58:50 (UTC)/ 06 : 28 : 50 AM (IST). The epicentre of the earthquake was located at 3.29°N and 95.94°E. The focal depth of the earthquake was 30 km. This earthquake generated huge tsunami waves which devastates the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, east coast of India, south Kerala in India and several other countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and Somalia in the Indian Ocean. The tsunami claimed more than 250,000 human lives in these countries. The aftershocks of this earthquake, numbering more than 250 in the magnitude range 5 ≤ M < 7.3, were located for a length of 1300 km from Sumatra in the south to the Andaman and Nicobar islands in the north, till 30 January 2005. A tsunami run-up survey was conducted immediately after the event to study tsunami damages, inundation areas and to obtain estimates of tsunami heights from perishable evidences like watermarks on houses and ocean debris transported inland. This communication presents results on tsunami heights at different locations along the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu.
