Tilly Smith’s Story
On December 2004, 10-year-old Tilly from UK was vacationing with her parents
and sister in Phuket, Thailand. The sea waves reminded her of a video about a
tsunami in Hawaii, that her teacher had shown during a Geography class back in
the UK.
"The sea was fizzing and there was froth on of the waves. I kept thinking,
‘I’ve seen this, I’ve seen this somewhere’. I felt something terrible was
going to happen."
At first, when she told her parents, they didn’t believe her, but when she
persisted, because she was sure that it was an incoming tsunami, and that
everyone was in a grave danger, they start to believe her.
"Tsunami, there’s going to be a tsunami. We have to get off, we have to
run.“
Seeing his daughter panic, Tilly's father told the security guards about the fizzing
sea waves. The guard was instantly alarmed as he was aware of the
earthquake that had occurred in the Indian Ocean. He asked everyone on the
beach to run towards the hotels and to stay on the high ground. As a result,
everyone on the beach was saved.
