Tsunami Story: Tenesio

Tenesio: Samoana High School Student, 11th Grade, Village of Afono

My story is about the tsunami that break all the houses in Samoa. I was on the school bus when the earthquake shaked. We didn’t feel the earthquake because the bus was too fast. When the time we came to school, we came to our turf . We hear the bell ringing and then Simon ran out and said to us, run up the tramway the tsunami coming. Then we ran up upstairs. The time we stand up on the top of the tramway we look at the ocean it seemed bad. Many kid crying and call their family and cry on the phone. I feel scared because my family were sleeping and they didnt know the tsunami warning. Many kid were get together and sing their song and pray to god for forgiveness. After we listen tot eh person on the radio that says the warning is finished. Then me and friend walked down and go to the store and buy food for healthy. After we eat we went to Fagatogo and come away to Pago Pago and see my family and their hurt.
