“I said there's definitely going to be a tsunami- my mum didn't believe me she didn't react. And so she just kept on walking and my dad sort of believed me and Holly my sister was getting really scared so she ran back to the pool and then my dad went back with her. And then I said right mum I'm going, I'm definitely going, there is definitely going to be a tsunami And she just said 'bye then' so I went back and she was reacting a bit more when I had gone, and so she went back to see if I was OK. And then the minute she had come back the water started coming up the beach.”
