Stunning before and after Ikonos satellite photos of Lhoknga village 
in Aceh province.

        http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=14963

Most of the vegetaion, fields, trees and roads are gone to a distance 
of hundreds of metres inland.
Inland fields remain flooded 3 days after the quake.
Wave height here is thought to possibly have reached 50 feet.

Running inland with 10 minutes warning here MAY have helped, but quite 
possibly not.
Climbing the high ground to the left of the photo definitely would 
have.
