I read on a Seychelles website that they had 1 death and 9 injured.
We need a tsunami monitoring system in the Atlantic as well

By the time the wave hit Africa it was just the beach that needed to be cleared.
Attempting to shift people from their homes 100's of metres inland from the sea and from large towns would not be quite so easy, well certainly not if people did not understand the dangers that a tsunami can bring. I do certainly agree that if the Indian government was made aware by it's armed forces in Nicobar/Andaman that a tsunami was on its way it should certainly have made an attempt to shift it's own people to safety.
