A survivor's story

Tsunami

Last year I was fishing with my brother on his boat. One day we were about five kilometres from the beach when the weather became stormy.

Suddenly, I saw a massive wave. I was very frightened. Then we saw an other massive wave, the next moment there was panic. My brother and I were shouting: “it’s a tsunami!”.

Afterwards, my brother had a good idea, this saved our life. The idea was going away from the beach, about thirty kilometres. It was a terrible experience, and we arrived on the beach. The next day we saw a city destroyed. Our family didn’t survive.
