"I woke up to what I thought was banging on our hotel door - it blew open and we were tossed from our bed by a surge of water. It broke out the back windows and we were carried out. We scrambled on to walls and rooftops but the tide surged and they were not high enough. The buildings around me collapsed and I was thrown into the surge. When I came up I grabbed hold of a branch. Pinned against a tree by the water, debris and bodies started to pile up against me and it felt like I was being crushed. In the end, the whole resort was gone. There are many others like me - lost, dazed and searching for their loved ones. " ....unlucky holiday tourist
