Talk:2018 Sunda Strait tsunami

2 meter high tide vs half meter wave
With all the roundabout wording here, are we trying to skate around talking about 'unusually high tides' in general, sea level rise correlations. B137 (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Coordinates
Has the coordinates for this event been ascertained from Krakatoa? Or has it needed to be confirmed again before the coordinates can be entered into the article? Fikri RA (talk) 04:26, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Far afield?
Thailand isn't that far afield, and "as far afield as" certainly is wrong in this case, since it doesn't mention what's actually far afield, with the deaths in Africa. Writing "as far afield as", one would expect the most distant major cases, not the nearby Thailand, or the midway Sri Lanka. This should be rewritten with "major casualties in Thailand and Sri Lanka, and damage as far afield as the east coast of Africa.

...why is that paragraph even there? The Indian Ocean Tsunami struck literally over a thousand miles away and had a completely different cause. Juxlos (talk) 07:24, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Landslide
Should this article also include the landslide that caused the tsunami or should it have its own article? Volcanoguy 09:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
