There was also a CNN report on a thai community of "Sea Gypsies" that totally survived, because the village elders knew that the sea going out meant a tsunami was on its way in, so while everyone else ran to pick up fish, they ran to the hills.
Sort of sad they didn't pass on their knowledge to others, but I was pretty stunned that most people (especially those living by the sea) would not know this. I would think it is just as much "sea wisdom" as it is known science.
