I was at the swimming pool at our resort when suddenly I heard people screaming coming from the beach. Trees were falling and as the weather changed the sound of rushing water was drawing nearer and nearer. Out of nowhere water poured over the buildings and everyone started running for their lives. I was caught by water and washed down the main road. The sounds all around were deafening.
I grabbed hold of a fallen tree: not knowing if would be able to hold on for long. Petrified I held on to the tree for an hour until rescue teams saved me.
I will never forget that day.
