One hour would not have been enough time to evacuate most people anyway. And I bet a lot of people further inland would go to the beach just out of curiousity to see the waves. Just look at the videos from Thailand, you can see crowds of people allowing the waves to get closer and closer and they don't run until the last second.

Sure, if warnings would have went out some people would have been saved but I bet the dealth toll would still be very high.
