That is presumably the height in the open ocean - that could translate to quite a few metres at a coastline, depending on it's configuration.

As I was just saying:
10:26pm: A few thousand people have been evacuated to higher ground from parts of India's Andaman and Nicobar islands in preparation for tsunami waves up to 3.9 metres high, officials say.

Any excuse for marketing, eh?:
KFC Thailand apologizes for improper quake posting

BANGKOK -- KFC Thailand has apologized for posting a Facebook message that urged people to rush home during Wednesday's tsunami scare and order a bucket of KFC chicken.

As people were being urged to evacuate from beaches, the company posted this message: "Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu."

Hundreds of angry commenters on Thai web boards denounced the company as insensitive and selfish.

By Thursday, the message was removed and replaced by one that asked for forgiveness.

Wednesday's earthquakes near Indonesia revived memories of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed 230,000 lives, including more than 8,000 people in Thailand.

Oh that is so below any semblance of a tiniest bit of decency!

I've never set foot inside a KFC nor eaten anything from there - now I have a perfect excuse to never do.

Morons! :nono:
