It was more surreal than anything else as the warning sirens were screaming while the ground was still shaking. It felt as if the whole nation was under attack, as if a war had suddenly broken out. But rather than an air raid or anything like that, it was another kind of warning that shocked them even more than before.
It is one thing to expect a sudden earthquake. Maybe it is a bit exciting the first time. But this was anything but exciting right now as the house itself had collapsed on one side, and now the siren was repeating one word they never expected to hear.
A tsunami warning.
It was absurd. No, not even absurd. There were no words to truly describe the whole thing, because they were prepared for everything. At the height of their drug empire, they expected an attack from a rival mafia or even the government. But this was not an attack. It was not the mafia, nor the government.
It was nature itself destroying them.
