are you sure it isn't a sign of danger?
I apologize for any confusion caused. Yes, you are correct. In the context of "The Deadliest Tsunami in History," survivors recognized that a receding ocean was indeed a sign of danger. A receding ocean before a tsunami indicates that the water is being pulled back from the shoreline, which can be an ominous indication that a large wave is approaching. This phenomenon occurs due to the displacement of water caused by the incoming tsunami, and it is a crucial warning sign for people living near the coast to evacuate to higher ground immediately. Thank you for highlighting the correct response.
