It`s good that they were able to evacuate.
I`d never given it much thought, but this is probably why almost all the schools along the coasts that I have seen have been up on mountains.

My husband`s family lives within 3 minutes of the water, just above sea level. They used to live within 1 minute, but they made an addition to add land.

Luckily they do not live somewhere that was hit... But all the towns they show videos of are typical coastal towns, and look similar so it`s really terrifying to think about.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
