That morning I got
dressed as usual. I was just leaving for school when I noticed that my shoes
were filthy. I went back inside to polish them. Staying home those five extra
minutes probably saved my life.
When I came outside
again, my mother was on the lawn picking flowers. Somebody yelled, “Tsunami!”
We thought it was an April Fool’s joke. Then, I looked up and saw a huge wall
of dirty water. My mother pushed me inside and slammed the door, just as the
wave struck our house. It felt like we’d been hit by a train.
The wave picked up
the house, and we floated away. Seawater came up to my knees. I decided to
changed clothes, in case we had to swim. When I opened the closet, the back
wall was gone! All I could see past my hanging clothes were waves and dead fish.
It looked liked a strange painting.
Through the windows
we could see people floating by, holding onto whatever they could. A boy was
clinging to a piece of lumber. The waves carried us far out into Hilo Bay
and back again three times.
Finally, our house
slammed into a factory wall. Somehow, my parents and I climbed into the
factory, where we found some neighbors on the upper floor. We all got busy tearing burlap sugar bags
into floated by, we threw them to the
rope.
Our family was
fortunate. And I’m not nervous about tsunamis anymore. But when I got married,
I told my husband, “We’re not leaving at the beach. We are going to live in the
mountains!”
