I read that the US tsunami monitoring system discovered this South Asian tsunami 4-5 hours before it happened, but only notified New Zealand and Australia. The official US tsunami warning system bulletins are posted on the Internet, so anyone can read them. I posted it here... Message 20895787 In addition, it has been widely reported that the U.S. scientists tried to warn various other countries.
