My fathers close friend and his wife were staying at a resort in Phuket, Tialand when the tidal waves hit, and the first hand account was stunning. The man went down to the beach in the morning (his wife was still in their room) and he said it was a beautiful day and then all of the sudden the whole sealine like dissapeared, the ocean just receded. All the people on the beach just kind of thought well theres a full moon maybe its just a weird tide, and then someone realized what was going on and started yelling for them to get to higher grounds. It just so happens that their hotel was on a cliff overlooking the beach so he ran up to his room and watched as the 30 feet waves demolished eveyrthing on the shore.
This truely is a terrible tragedy
