Tsunami Alert in Tonga! I experienced a 6.6 Earthquake during Breakfast.
I was having breakfast when the earth started to shake!
First, I didn’t pay much attention.
I experienced several earthquakes already, and nothing seemed to have happened.
But then I saw people running!
And I remembered I was on a small island close to the ocean!
Sirenes went off, and I heard loud announcements in the Tongan language.
It was a big chaos, and I didn’t know what exactly was happening or where to go!
Some people were super scared and ran in all directions, while others seemed relaxed and just continued what they were doing.
I eventually stopped a car, and a super-friendly local gave me a lift to the safe zone, a small hill in the island’s center.
It really was a scary experience, especially because there was so little information!
