Interview result (text of the interview: Purely descriptive)

I was preparing to go on fishing as per my daily routine when I felt earthquake shock around 3:00 a.m. I had my wife and two kids at home. After the earthquake the sea receded and then after some time waves attacked the community. Waves arrived around two hours after the earthquake happened. I heard a tower at Karachi was also destroyed by the waves. In my area, people evacuated on sand dunes, but the third was strongest and high enough to over pass the sand dunes and people further rushed to nearby high mounts.
