On the 26th of December of 2004, the Indian Ocean experienced a Tsunami, as a result of a shift in the continental plates.
Any natural disaster, can have severe consequences, both financially and in loss of life.
The easiest way is to plead ignorance to nature, then you will be off the hook.
After the disaster, a group of Australian surfers that were in the water were interviewed. They mentioned that the noticed that the ocean level dropped and became very still. With this in mind they were aware that danger was near by, and immediately headed back for shore, and had enough time to be out of harms way.
Not one single animal perished during this event, as they escaped to higher ground.
The general news media reports the event as one with 'No Warning', and this is also touted by AusAID, which quite simply put, is incorrect.
Some also say that the result of the tsunami has been caused not naturally, but by man, either through over mining or underground experiments.
