The story of self-help in the tsunami.

On February 26th, 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami claimed nearly 200,000 lives. Before the tsunami hit, a beautiful little girl ran and shouted in a hurry on the beach of Maikao in Phuket, Thailand: "Attention, everyone, there is going to be a tsunami! Please leave the beach and hide in a safe place!

The little girl named Tilly, only 10 years old, came to Thailand from England with her parents.

Tilly was playing with her mother at Golden Beach before the tsunami hit. Suddenly, she found something strange about the sea-there were many bubbles in the sea, and the tide suddenly receded quickly. "No, Mom, there's going to be a tsunami!" She yelled at her mother. "How do you know?" Mother asked in surprise. "Two weeks ago, the teacher just told us about the knowledge of the sea roar. The sudden and mysterious disappearance of the tide is one of the signs of the tsunami. "

"Son, I trust your judgment. Let's greet the tourists on the beach and the guests in the hotel immediately and let them move to a safe place quickly!

Tilly's mother immediately evacuated all the tourists on the beach to a safe area with the hotel staff. Just a few minutes after everyone left, there was a sudden surge on the tidal shore. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Extended data

When receiving the tsunami warning, the correct way is to leave the seaside and estuary, stay away from the sea and hide in higher mountains or buildings. When the sea recedes abnormally, marine life on the beach can't be picked up. You should evacuate immediately.

What should I do if there is a tsunami around me: hide behind a huge reef and fix my body; Catch floating objects in the water; Don't try to swim away, and don't struggle at random. Minimize movements, reduce physical exertion and the passage of body temperature, and avoid sinking.
