My work also took me to Simuelue, another remote island off the coast of Sumatra which was effected by the Tsunami, although mostly only structure damage. According to local folklore, a large tsunami occurred in 1907, and killed a large number of people who rushed to the beaches to collect the fish left by the receding sea. This time, they knew to head for the hills.
While I was there there were a number of significant tremors.
