Hildasan, 50, net-maker
„I was repairing some fishing nets in the
harbour when I saw the water raising. I
´d never seen anything like it. I began
to run for my life-I knew something was
wrong. The rumbling noise, the raising
water, just didn´t make sense. As I ran
inland the sea seemed to be roaring in
the background.“
