Tsunami

We have been notified that there will be a practice tsunami warning today. I think that they told us so that we would not panic. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. There really isn't any high ground to go to. Maybe climb to the roof of the house. We are about 7 km from the water edge, so I think that we will be ok. During the tsunami in 2004, thirty thousand people in this part of the island were killed. When Japan had their recent tsunami, there was a warning here, but Sri Lanka did not receive any significant waves.
