Explanation:

According to "The Deadliest Tsunami in History", published in 2004 by the National Geographic, the cause of the tsunami that killed over 150,000 people was an earthquake. The movement of two tectonic plates caused a rupture, moving trillions of tons of rocks under the ocean. The result was a deadly tsunami.

Unfortunately, survivors later said they did see the ocean receding prior to the tsunami, but weren't aware of the danger:

"[...] they had never seen the sea withdraw such a distance, exposing seafloor never seen before, stranding fish and boats on the sand. Tragically the novelty of the sight apparently stoked the curiosity of the people who ran out onto the exposed seafloor. Tourists in Thailand were seen wandering around photographing the scene."

From the excerpt above, we can note that survivors did not see the receding ocean as a sign of danger.
