The same thing happened to me back in 2013 before the tsunami hit our place. There was an earthquake and I was one of those people from my place that didn't notice it. We got surprised by the tsunami warning following the earthquake. Living close to the sea, everybody could have died from the tsunami, but we were still evacuated at a higher place due to the typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda. We were kind of lucky to be safe with the tsunami. But on the other hand, we were also unlucky because the typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda did hit us and destroyed our homes. The typhoon was really strong and could swift you off your feet once you come outside, therefore it was important that we were evacuated at safer buildings. But still, the typhoon did cost thousands of lives and homes, so we were lucky to be alive at the end. And it helps that many people in the province are very smart, responsible and alert eachother whenever they hear from somebody that there will be an earthquake, tsunami or typhoon coming, so that there is time to bring the family to a higher place or to a stronger building for safety.
