Was on maikhao beach at phuket in Thailand, and she noticed that the water started to ‘’go funny’’ and the tide went out all of a sudden. Than she remembered her teacher’s description of a tsumani. Tilly realized that a tsunami wave was coming, and she shouted to her mother, ‘’mummy, we must get off the beach now she knew they had approximately ten minutes before the big wave hit land . Fortunately the people on the beach and in the nearby hotel paid attention to her alert and ran to high ground. No one was killed or hurt in that area because Tilly paid paid attention in her geography class.
