Last year we looked at obscure holidays. This year, let’s look at major world events that occurred each week. Make your best guess in the comments as to the years of each event. No googling!
Week #52
December 26, ____ - An estimated 230,000 persons died and 1.5 million left homeless when a magnitude 9.3 earthquake in the Indian Ocean caused a series of giant tsunami waves that decimated parts of a dozen countries including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, and Somalia.
