A quake, measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale, set off tsunamis across Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. The current death toll is 21,500, and will probably rise as more of the missing are accounted for.
A 9.0 quake is not unheard of, but it is the strongest in "the past 40 years".
More information on the quake itself can be found here.
