It was really a relaxing evening at the beach today. The breeze was quite cold...and the tides were quite low when compared to previous months...I was walking along the shore, wettin my legs on the water...Was walking quite long along the shore...I wonder how this lovely water can turn into vicious monster tsunami...Even mother nature has her own dark side. It was really a bad time when tsunami came...
It all started one fine sunday morning to remember the exact date it was dec 26th 2004.
0600hrs i was fast alseep...then my grand pa woke me up in a hurry and was yelling 'get up get up the building is about the fall' and i was thinking what the heck is going on....Then i realised it was a mild tremor and everyone feared it will get even worse ....i dressed up in a flash and took my dog down and when everything was over , I looked up the sky and felt glad and better that nothing bad had happened...then all went home, laughing it off....
0900hrs A friend of mine came over and we started discussing what happened early in the morning and I was explaining what will happen if the world came into an end like in the movie "The day after tommorow" .....jus when I finished telling... my car driver came running and asking us to get outta the house....we all got scared...he was soo scared that he couldnt tell whats happening...we all ran outside again and i could see people running like anything everywhere....then one dumbo on the road told the sea water is coming all over the city like a huge tidal wave...so we quickly locked the house and went far off from the coastal area ( we live like 2 kms away from the beach). We reached a near by city to our relatives house...all were very tired of all the tension we went through...WE TURNED ON THE TV AND FOUND OUT THAT THE WATER HARDLY CAME 1 KM Inside the city.....we felt sorry for the poor souls who lost their lives in this event...we went back home quitely in the evening ...
I cannot forget that day in my life...It was really horrifying...I hope this will not happen in the future ! Well atleast people should be warned before tsunami strikes its anger again on the shores...
