It started with bad stormy rainy days nothing too out of place. Until it kept raining for weeks it's like every time I blinked floods floods and more floods that's when I knew something was up with Mother Nature.

Every time it thundered all the power in the Universe would go out leaving all of us in the dark for days. It all changed September 9th 2020. That night I'll never forget.

It was a usual morning I got my 6 kids up for school and my husband up for work. I made them breakfast and packed their lunches.

We were all sitting down enjoying our breakfast until we got a phone call from my mother.

Hello Anastasia ? - My mother said

Hello mum how are you ?

Asia sweetie there is a tsunami coming and it's really big the news crew say millions will die so we should hug our loved ones close and pray for the best. My mother said in tears.

Mom the world says a lot of things but that didn't make them true-

Anastasia Joy listen to me turn on your TV and go to the weather channel and you keep those babies safe I love you.

The phone went dead and i obeyed her order.

A huge tsunami is hitting the earth everyone be safe and we are out we may not know when we'll come back on air or if we do ... God bless you all. - TV news anchor.

Nate honey come here i say frantically.

What is it babe he says kissing my head.

There is a tsunami coming and we need to take shelter !

Don't panic everything is gonna be alright. -Nate

We have to get the kids somewhere safe.

We were interrupted my a loud BOOM.

The storms starting nate I'm so scared!

Come on don't be im here.-Nate

We went to high ground so the water won't get to us.

Mommy I'm scared-Ivy

I clutched my 9 months pregnant belly as sharp pains kicked in.
