And thanks to the lessons taught by her teacher about handling disaster scenarios. These kids would make the survivors proud.
In this day and age it’s nice to hear about a teacher, teaching something of true value to their students.
Kudos to Abby, I agree. Job well done...
I remember reading about this when it happened and hoped she would be nationally recognized.

Wasn’t there a girl who did the same thing when the big tsunami struck a couple of years ago? She had just learned in class how the sea retreats just before the tsunami strikes.
I would think there would be signs all along the coast stressing the importance of heading for higher ground at the first sign of a retreating ocean!

Forty plus years ago I was new director of a radio station in Mobile, AL. Mobile is the home of Spring Hill College. Spring Hill College has a pretty well known seismographic center. At the time it was one of the few in the South. Anytime there was an earthquake or the possibility of a tsunami I would call out to the school and try to get a sound byte from the priest who ran the center. He was always a pleasure to talk with, a veritable wealth of knowledge on all things seismographic, and most willing to educate the caller. But the one thing you didn’t want to say to him was “tidal wave”! He would come unglued at that term. Then you had to listen to a 30 minute lecture on the difference between a tidal wave and a tsunami.
