"This is Chrys Fey reporting for Disaster 5 News. I am in Anchorage, Alaska where a tsunami hit yesterday morning. I have Diane Burton with me, a survivor of the tsunami. Diane, can you tell our viewers what happened, and how you survived?"
Diane: Oh my God, Chrys. I can’t believe we survived. Hubs and I
were on an Alaskan cruise and land trip. We’d taken a trip to Denali National
Park. Wow. What a gorgeous mountain. The road was horrible, ruts and—
Chrys: Diane, what about the tsunami?
Diane: Of course, Chrys. Sorry. When the
tsunami hit, we were on the motor coach on our way back. If we’d been here in Anchorage . . . I
can’t imagine. Look at the destruction. All those homes destroyed, and the
people who lost their lives.
That could have been us. *wipes away tears* I
managed to call my family and let them know we were all right. I don't know how
we’re going to get home, I'm just so thankful we survived. *breaks down*
Chrys *pats Diane’s shoulder* Yes, thank God you survived.
Oh, there’s another survivor. *leaves* Ma’am, sir, may I talk to you . . .

BLURB: Beth and Donovan have come a long way from Hurricane
Sabrina and the San Francisco earthquake. Now they are approaching their
wedding day and anxiously waiting to promise each other a lifetime of love. The
journey down the aisle isn’t smooth, though, as they receive threats from the
followers of the notorious criminal, Jackson Storm. They think they’ll be safe
in Hawaii, but distance can’t stop these killers. Not even a tsunami can.
This monstrous wave is the most devastating disaster Beth
has ever faced. It leaves her beaten, frightened. Is she a widow on her
honeymoon? As she struggles to hold herself together and find Donovan, she’s
kidnapped by Jackson's men.
Fearing her dead, Donovan searches the rubble and shelters
with no luck. The thought of her being swept out to sea is almost too much for
him to bear, but the reality is much worse. She’s being used as bait to get him
to fall into a deadly trap.
If they live through this disaster, they may never be the
same again.

Oh reporters. Always looking for the next victim with the big story. This was a great post Diane and loving the images you chose. Thanks for joining the blogfest and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheena-kay. While this blogfest was fun, a tsunami is so dangerous. I had a chance to read Chrys' story, and her descriptions of the disaster was scary.
DeleteGood thing you went to the park that day.
ReplyDeleteIt was, Diane. Denali is on my Bucket List.
DeleteFrightening images. I wouldn't want to experience a tsunami up close either. Let the reporter find someone else!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the images, Tamara.
DeleteA Tsunami would scare me to death! Couldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn @ Onbecomingawriter.com
How scary and no way to predict where an earthquake would strike that could create a tsunami.
DeleteWell, Chrys was certainly quick to abandon you for the next story!
ReplyDeleteShe was, wasn't she? Did she race over to you? ;)
DeleteThat image is chilling.
ReplyDeleteSo many are sticking with the real devastation of a tsunami. But after writing it in my book, I went with something gentler. ;)
Thank you so much for participating in my blogfest!
Now I really am off to the next story. ;)
Thanks, Chrys, for organizing this blogfest. Such interesting stories from the surivors.
DeleteI can't think of a safer place to be during a tsunami than on Denali. I hope you actually get to visit there someday, but the tsunami isn't invited. (Geez, that Chrys sure is fickle... didn't even give you a chance to say your piece before she was scurrying off to interview someone else..._
ReplyDeleteLOL, Susan. Yep, she deserted me. I had so much more to say.
DeleteHi Diane!
ReplyDeleteSuch a compelling interview - I wanted to hug you myself! You've perfectly described the reaction of most anyone in a disaster situation. Nice touch:-)
Thanks so much, Diedre.
DeleteNice photos and enjoyed your approach.
ReplyDeleteJuneta @ Writer's Gambit
Thanks, Juneta.
DeleteGreat post, ladies. Best of luck with the book!
ReplyDeleteAdding my wishes to Chrys with yours, Maureen.
DeleteWhat an interesting post. Those pics ARE awful....
ReplyDeleteGood luck and God's blessings

Thanks, Pam. I searched through many pictures, each worse than the next. I can't imagine how people could put their lives back together again.
DeleteReporters, worse kind of ambulance chasers! LOL!
ReplyDeleteToo true. But Chrys is such a sweetheart I didn't mind her dashing off. :)
