The 2004 tsunami caused by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake under the Indian Ocean near the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra affected 13 districts in Sri Lanka on a bright sunny morning taking the beach goers, tourists, fishermen, and residents near the shore without a warning
This deadly strike of the ocean caused a great change in the lifestyle of the people near the coastal area as well as the other people as it was an unexpected incident which the srilankens had never experienced before in their life, as a fact some of did not even know the word "Tsunami".
This great strike of the ocean on the 26th of December changed so many peoples lives as most of them lost their parents, loved ones, homes, schools, lands and many more.
But it wasn't the end for us, as srilankens we united and rose again from the place we fell down, with all the help from many other countries all over the world , srilanka was able to rebuild all the things that were taken with the strong tides. The people united in one name, thats as srilankens to build up the country as it was before the strike, as a fact the country end up even better that it was earlier and that was the spirit of the srilankens. All those who had to sacrifice their lives will always be in our heart.
