1. The Smith family from South-East England was celebrating Christmas at a beach resort in south Thailand. Tilly Smith was a ten-year-old schoolgirl; her sister was seven years old. Their parents were Pen and Colin Smith. It was 26th December, 2004. Deadly tsunami waves were already on their way. They had been triggered by a massive earthquake off northern Sumatra earlier that morning. “The water was swelling and kept coming in,” Penny Smith remembered, “the beach was getting smaller and smaller. I didn’t know what was happening.”
2. But Tilly Smith sensed that something was wrong. Her mind kept going back to a geography lesson she had taken in England just two weeks before she flew out to Thailand with her family. Tilly saw the sea slowly rise and start to foam, bubble and form whirlpools. She remembered that she had seen this in class, in a video of a tsunami that had hit the Hawaiian Islands in 1946. Her geography teacher had shown her class the video, and told them that a tsunami can be caused by earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides.
3. Tilly started to scream at her family and others to get off the beach. She talked about an earthquake under the sea and got more and more hysterical. Getting frightened,Tilly’s parents took their children away from the beach, to the swimming pool at the hotel. A number of other tourists also left the beach with them. The family took refuge in the third floor of the hotel which sustained even after the surge of three tsunami waves.
4. The Smiths later met other tourists who had lost their entire families. Thanks to Tilly and her geography lesson, they had been forwarded. Tilly went back to her school in England and told her classmates her terrifying tale.
