1:08:59Now PlayingA massive 9.1 magnitude earthquake under the ocean. A series of tsunami waves moving almost 500 miles an hour. Nearly a quarter of a million people dead across 14 countries. Today we’re going off the radar to talk about one of the largest seismic events ever recorded: the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, also known as the Boxing Day Tsunami. My guest this week is marine biologist Dr. Dwayne Meadows. He was in coastal Thailand when the deadliest tsunami in history came crashing in, and he was almost a victim of its destructive power. Dwayne was swept out to sea by its powerful waves – and despite the odds, he survived. We’ll be discussing this harrowing event, how to vacation safely along coastal areas, and the impact a tsunami can have on a survivor’s mental health.
