Little before midnight, I got a call from the boys in the night shift – “There is a severe earth-quake in Indonesia, you better get to a safe place”. A colleague called to say, “Get your parents to my home”. Well, I didn’t want to take any risk with my parent’s life. So I quickly jumped into the car and drove them to my colleague’s home which is at the other side of the city.

Panic is set on the beach residents. Just now, the fishermen folks are regaining their mental strength and getting back to sea; hope the damage is not going to be devastating as like before.

Afterword: There was nothing to worry about. Later the Tsunami alerts were withdrawn.
