Tsunami stories needed!!

Hi Everyone

I am looking for stories from people who were on the ocean when the tsunami hit. This includes surfers, swimmers, scuba divers, and boaters.

The info will be used by the international tsunami community

The whole story would be great, and with pertinent info like the following:

1) Location of boat(surf spot/dive spot), type , size, keel, # of people on board, how loaded, approximate water depth, how far from shore
2) How did you learn about the tsunami, what time was it
3) What did you do
4) What happened:
-appearance of wave or waves
-did you observe a drawdown of the water
-how many waves or water surges
-how long did the unusual wave or current activity last
5) How did your group fare? Deaths or injuries?
6) How did your boat/board fare?
7) Did you see any marine wildlife acting up before or during?
Any additional comments



Cheers!

Birdie
