It's about the tsunami. A powerful earthquake caused a wave, the height of which didn’t seem to be impressive - 4.5 m. Unfortunately, the tsunami hit the low-lying coast for more than 400 miles. And residents were not ready for such a threat. The result - more than 5 thousand dead and about 2.5 thousand missing without a trace. Nearly 100,000 people in the Philippines were left homeless, and many villages along the coastline were washed away along with residents.
