This was what the river Tsunami looked like when it came. It was a terrifying scene, sweeping everything before it.... Sam and I were on ther river Kilambun. I had been camping and swimming on this river for more than 20 years and nothing in my imagination could have prepared me for this
This is a scene that will be forever etched in my memory. Sam, who was there with me say that it is a scene so frightening that she cannot even go near water now. The waves 10 feet tall when they came at us. As we ran for our lives, we were praying that we will be spared........
For 35 minutes, the river went on its raging ways sweeping everything before it. What was once a river with rocks and trees by its side was all gone. For 35 terrifying minutes, we were dumbstruck. Our lives were spared and it will be our call to serve people more.....
As we stood and watched, we realized how mortal we were. We realised that we were at best fragile and weak. Compared to the sight before us, we just felt helpless. It is by God's Grace taht we survived.....
Soon the river returned to its normal self... not a trace of what had happened before. Just two hours later, it was calm and serene just it has been for ages. As we stood there the next morning to bid the river farewell, we could not help but speak silent grateful thanks tot he almighty who by his mercies had given us a new lease of life.......
