The worse side

Unfortunately just the second day of our stay a terrible cataclysm occured.
We didn't understand how big it was until we saw on television on the following days all the news and the picture and.... Oh, my gosh!
In the afternoon of the 26th of December we received this call from some friends from Italy asking:" Hey, are you OK?". And so we asked "Why?". And they answered that there was a big hearthquake in Indonesia "Well, but we are in India now, no problems here!". Oh yes, they said to us, but here in Italy all the TVs show this disaster because a big wave formed after the quake called "tsunami" in japanese and this wave have swept everything on his path........

So we knew about this incredible disaster and passed all the day calling home to assure everybody that we were fine and safe on the west coast of India. Only in the following days we learned that some waves hit near Kollam, and near Trivandrum and Kanyakumari and some people told us that the level grew in the backwaters.
