The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

I heard on my walkie-talkie that the second wave had hit. It didn't take long before the whole city was in mayhem. I went back down after the second wave retreated. At that point, I still had no idea what had happened. All I knew was I had to help people.
The ceremony ended just like any other day. Then I went back home, right behind the temple.
Suddenly I heard a lot of cars ¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä« go by on the main street. All of them were speeding through and honking and they passed by the area. Then villagers here started talking about how villages along the beach here were all gone because of the wave.

I got a request to go to a supermarket on ´ä·Ê¶± the beach road where many people were trapped inside. When I arrived, I saw staff floating face down in the water that flooded the basement of the building. Some of them were still alive but many of them were dead.

I held my sons tight in my arms and told them 'Mummy and Daddy love you very much. If anything happens, just stay afloat in this life vest. Don't try to swim, someone will come to find you and help you.'

It didn't look like È«Äá¸íǰ½Ã°è=È«Äá¸íǰ±¸¸Å´ëÇà È«Äᱸ¸Å´ëÇà È«Äá½Ã°è the killer wave you see in the movies. What I saw at first was just a flash flood that brought a massive amount of water. As the flood got closer, it started to pick up speed. Finally it hit street level and the water continued to rise. I hopped back in my truck and drove up the hill. At that moment, everything was crazy. So many people were running away from the water.

I contacted my friend who was in the ¸íǰÀ̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÀÏ´ëÀÏ navy and he told me it was a tsunami. He told us to find a big ship and get up there. I saw the Mahidol ship was on its way out from the bay, so we stopped them and asked for help.
As we got on the ship, I saw houses and restaurants on Koh Racha Yai pulled down into the sea. That's when I realised something °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß serious had happened. So we all agreed that we should go help other people on the nearby island since we had two doctors and two nurses on board.

Tacloban suffered enormous damage during ´ä·Ê¶± Typhoon Haiyan when a storm surge pushed water into the low-lying city of more than 220,000 people.
According to an update by the Philippines weather service at 11:00 local time (03:00 GMT) on Thursday, Phanfone had passed over the most populated islands and was heading out towards the South China Sea.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said many residents and tourists had seen their Christmas celebrations "ruined by a group of reckless and selfish rioters".
"Such illegal acts have not Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS Ä«¿îÅÍ=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS Ä«¿îÅÍ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½Ç¹öÈıâ only dampened the festive mood but also adversely affected local businesses," she said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
The protests began in June, focusing on a bill that would have allowed the extradition of suspects to mainland ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê China.
The bill was later withdrawn, but demonstrations have since evolved into a broader movement demanding investigations into police brutality and democratic reform.

Back in August, BBC Sport readers È«Äá¸íǰ½Ã°èÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=È«Äá½Ã°è È«Äá¸íǰ¼îÇÎ È«Äá¸íǰĿ½ºÅÒ±Þ voted for who they thought was the signing of the summer and it was Pepe who came out on top.
That's not quite worked out, and while there is time for Pepe to come good it's not going to happen before the end of 2019.
So instead, the star performer ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê we have picked out is Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian midfielder joined Leicester initially on loan in January before making his move a permanent one in the summer for a club record ¡Ì40m.
Tielemans is now a key component in one of the strongest and most exciting midfields in the Premier League and, considering some of the enormous fees spent elsewhere, he is looking like the bargain buy of the summer.

He's also managed to do all of this while having to suffer taunts from opposition fans due to the spat between his wife Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.
OK. He may have ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß only been a Premier League manager for half the year but it is hard to argue with the job Chris Wilder has done in that short time.
Sheffield United were the ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® overwhelming bookies' favourites to suffer immediate relegation to the Championship following their impressive promotion, but under Wilder they have defied expectations to instead find themselves fifth in the table.
You could throw a dart at a number õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å of names on a wall for this one. Should it go to Manchester United for another year of underperforming? Or maybe Marco Silva for falling short at Everton despite a summer of big spending?
Both are plausible options but neither have arguably fallen quite so far in such a short space of time as Arsenal.

The Earl of Wessex and his daughter Lady Louise Windsor also arrived for the Christmas morning church service.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has condemned the forcible conscription of one of his allies to serve at a military base in the Arctic.
Ruslan Shaveddinov ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ was seized at his home in Moscow on Monday and flown 2,000km (1,240 miles) to the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago.
Mr Navalny accused the ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Å¹ß authorities of kidnapping the activist who, he said, was exempt from military service.
An army official accused ·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà=·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà the activist of being a draft-dodger.
Military service of 12 months is compulsory for all Russian men aged 18 to 27, but there are exemptions on medical or other grounds.
Mr Shaveddinov was working °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß as a project manager at Mr Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) when he was seized.
