Interview result (text of the interview: Purely descriptive)

Sea water receded first (300 meters or more) and then three waves attacked the shoreline. Community was settled much behind the area at that time and there used to be a fishing godown/ store was situated at the place where we are sitting now. The shoreline was also at least I km away from the present day shoreline. Waves were higher than the houses but being the community located away from shore and at higher ground, the water cannot enter the houses. People who were in the sea could not feel earthquake and were surprised to see the destruction/ damage.
