Talk:2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami

Tsunami wave height: lead says "up to 30 m" but infobox states maximum 51 m

The lead paragraph states: "The earthquake caused a massive tsunami with waves up to Template:Cvt high." However, the infobox lists the tsunami height as "15 to 30 m; max. 51 m."

A stated maximum of 51 m cannot be reconciled with "up to 30 m" in the lead. Either the lead should be updated to reflect the 51 m runup height documented in the infobox, or the article should clarify that "up to 30 m" refers to a different measurement (e.g., open-ocean or average wave height) while the 51 m refers to the maximum coastal runup at a specific location.
