It was my friend's first earthquake experience, and since we are currently in an appartment right next to the sea, I taught my friend about the dangers of tsunami. He didn't believe me at first (he is French) but then slowly I managed to enlighten him about the potential dangers of our situation. We went to look at the sea (to check if it was starting to recede) but there was no visible change.
