Dear Sally,
Hi,how are you? I hope you are in the best of your health. The weather in my country is changing. How is the weather in America?
I am writing this letter to share my tragic experience with you when a tsunami came in our city. I was extremely frightened but we managed to get safe by going to a higher level of ground. It killed millions of people and many were injured. It also destroyed many buildings and ruined the area. It is not very often that our country gets tsunamis, perhaps this was the first time. It was very frightening. People were getting out of their houses immediately they discovered that their was a tsunami coming. We were amazed to see the day before for a tsunami coming but we were warned by the meteorologists.
Now I end this letter. I know you'll be very frightened to think of a tsunami but I know that u must know it as it's all over the news but I wrote this to share my experience.
Sincerely,
<Tilly Smith>
Hope this letter helps! Please mark it as brainliest...

Dear Chandru,
I am writing this letter with a choking grief. I was an eye-witness to the havoc caused by the Tsunami which you must have seen on the T.V. and which you must have read about in newspapers.
I was on the top of the hill with my picnic party. We were using our binoculars to enjoy the landscape. We began to hear a strange rattle and saw the earth make a light trembling up-and-down movement far off. We were terrified. I saw the buildings of the town tumbling, some collapsing and the others struggling, I then saw the earth making a long gap while quaking still. Alas, I noticed thousands of people falling into the gap. Animals and vehicles too fell into it. After three minutes the earthquake stopped and the deep gap disappeared, leaving behind only a pit of about ten meters in depth. A sudden movement under the sea beds causes tsunamis. It is an earthquake inside the sea or ocean. The Pacific Ocean is known to be a hotspot of tsunamis. Other than earthquakes, there are other reasons for tsunamis to occur. One of the major reasons is volcanic eruptions under the sea beds. Other reasons for the occurrence of tsunamis are the sinking of the earth, explosives, etc. These natural disasters occur primarily in areas where two continents meet. A tsunami is a term that refers to tidal waves. Therefore, a tsunami is defined as a sequence of ocean waves with a very long wavelength. Due to the tsunami, strong waves of water are created and move landwards. As a result, there is a large inland water movement that lasts for a long time. As a result, these waves have a significant destructive power. Like any other natural disaster, tsunamis bring massive destruction to the environment. When a tsunami strikes, the sea waves reach a speed of 420 kilometres per hour. Beaches are ruined, trees and plants are broken, and human settlements, residences, buildings, and ports are demolished due to the tsunami.
The earth swallowed thousands of people and animals. The collapsing of buildings killed about twelve thousand people.
I saw all those tragic sights as in a dream or on the screen. When I recovered, I saw people rushing towards the long pit to rescue the people still alive in it and get out the available corpses.
We descended from the top of the hill, started our car and reached the scene of the tragedy. With tears, we lent our hands in the rescue work.
Those people who swallowed by the earth must have been crushed to death within a few seconds. Earthquakes, floods, famine and pestilences contribute to the reduction of the strength of the human population as well as war, murder, natural death, sickness, abortion and the Family Planning devices do.
I have lost my interest in life. I am wandering about like the Ancient Mariner or the knight at Arms alone and palely loitering.
Yours truly,
Tilly smith
