 %The ANUGA simulation determines a region to be inundated if at some point in time it was covered by at least 1cm of water. This precision in field measurements is impossible to obtain. The inundation boundary is determined by observing water marks and other signs left by the receeding waters. The precision of the observed inundation map is, most likely, at least an order of magnitude worse than the ANUGA simulation. The simulated inundation based upon a 10cm threshold is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:inundationcomparison10cm}.
 
+Both the URS model and the ANUGA inundation model shows that the event comprises a train of waves some with preciding drawdown effects (ADD details of waveform with a graph from URL and a gauge from ANUGA and discuss). In \cite{papadopoulos06} eyewitness accounts report 
+\emph{In Patong beach, most people observed at least two
+waves. It is likely that the leading wave described in both
+Sri Lanka and Maldives was not observed in Patong beach.
+What people said is that the first sea motion was a retreat
+of more than 100 m. A few minutes later the strong wave
+arrived. Then, after another 5 or 10 min. one more wave attacked
+but less violently than the first one. Nearly all the
+interviewed persons reported that the tsunami inundation
+in the Patong beach varied from 150 m to at least 750 m
+(Fig. 16). One eyewitness reported inundation of only 20
+m. As for the arrival time of the strong wave the eyewitnesses
+do not agree. However, most reports concentrated
+around 02:55 to 03:05 (09:55 to 10:05 local) which seems
+to be a reliable description.}
+
+FIXME(Ole): Need discussion of model results in this context.
