　　The Japanese coined the word tsunami to mean“harbor wave．”(“tsu”means harbor, and the character“nami”means wave)．Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, leading to a massive tsunami．Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake, which struck about 400km(250 miles)north-east of Tokyo and caused massive destruction, flattening whole cities, starting powerful fires, and killing hundreds．

　　In the wake of the Japanese tragedy, remember these tsunami survival tips：

　　1．A good warning sign of an approaching tsunami is“drawback,”when the ocean recedes(减弱)drastically or the water level falls unusually along the shoreline．

　　During the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a 10-year-old girl on vacation with her family in Thailand, Tilly Smith, saved the lives of dozens of tourists when she recognized the receding water and frothing bubbles on the surface of the water as a sign that a tsunami was on its way．Experts believe that a receding ocean may give people as much as five minutes' warning to evacuate the area．

　　2．You're not out of danger after the first wave of a tsunami．

　　A tsunami occurs as a series of waves known as a“wave train,”and the series of surges(奔涌向前)can be five minutes or up to an hour apart．The tsunami does not usually appear on the shoreline as a gigantic breaking wave, but rather as a rapid tide or a wall of water．The worst mistake you can make is staying near the beach out of curiosity．Find higher ground and go as far inland as you can．If you can see the waves, you're still too close．

　　3．A tsunami surge may be small at one point of the shore and large at another point．

　　Move to higher ground as soon as you can and don't assume that because there's minimal activity in the coastal area where you are, it will be like that everywhere else．

　　4．Keep your ears peeled．

　　Many witnesses have said that a tsunami sounds thunderous, like a freight train．

　　The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8∶30 am．He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks．Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes．Luckily a passer-by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm．Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue．

　　“I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing(挥动)．We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came”．
