"A tidal wave hit the Thai tourist resort island Phuket with waves as high as five meters 5 (16 feet) after the earthquake, Thailand's meteorology department said."
Once again I am struck by the irony in the difference between a native tongue and the english pronunction of that tongue relative to the events in the area.

Have to really worry about Diego Garcia; thousands of US military there and the island seems to be basically barely above sea level; maxium elevation is 22 feet and average elevation is 4 feet.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who kept all of his cash in a bucket,
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And took the bucket to Phuket
