It was Sunday morning December 26th 2004. The day that I would never forget forever. We went to the beach in Meulaboh, Aceh. Many people were there when I arrived.
When we were enjoying the beautiful sunrise, suddenly we were shocked by a violent shake in the ground. Everybody in the beach was panic. We soon realized that it was a very big earthquake although it struck in a very short time.
After that, we saw the water was going on into the middle of the sea. No wonder if there were many kinds of fish were left behind on the sand. We all seemed to be astonished by the view until we realized that there was a huge wave came towards us and destroyed everything in its way.
I didn’t realize what had happened until I found myself hanging on a branch of a tree.
