Tsunami warning 2011

the night of the Tsunami warning I was just sitting in front of the t.v. like any other thursday night. Suddenly when my phone rang it was my sister telling us to evacuate, knowing me I started to panic and pretty much packed up my whole room. I turned the station to KHON2 news and there I had just learned that there was a earthquake in Japan and there could be a Tsunami coming in about 4 hours. We called everyone we knew and made arrangements for my dog to get droped off at my uncles. Because we were in the evacuation zone we had to move quickly. After waiting for my sister to get off of work we raced to my uncles house, at that time we had already made plans to stay with my aunty for the night. But why drive all the way to kunia when we were already in a safe zone. So we ended staying at my uncles for the night and leaving in the morning. Everything turned out to be fine. From this experience I learned that it is important not to panic and get overwhelmed in these kind of situations and overall I learned a lot.
