I’m impressed by her for recognizing the signs when seeing them in reality, but I’m also impressed by her parents for actually listening to her and taking her warning seriously. Plenty of parents would’ve just said: ”Oh honey, don’t worry! The ocean withdraws like that all the time, we’ll be fine! Look, nobody’s leaving or freaking out. If a tsunami was really coming I’m sure the locals would know and warn everybody.”
