A heroine to the Tsunami

She did not put the microphone down because  her one and only thought was  to save the local people.1 year has passed by.Recently,many sad stories were told by the survivors from the earthquake of the northeast region of Japan.
The other day,a program about the earthquake was telecasted in television.A very important story of 11 March 2011.
Ms Miki (24) was working at the ward office in Minami Sanriku cho ,Miyagi  Prefecture.That is the place where superior quality Wakame seaweed was being produced.
After the place was attacked by the terrible earthquake,she informed the local people of the emergency urging them to run to high places through the radio.
The 4 storied building of the asylum is higher than the other buildings  so during the first stage of the earthquake,they did not think that they needed to escape. But once someone saw the very big ebb from the window,the situation changed rapidly.They said that if the height of the Tsunami was less than 6 m,it would still be safe,but indeed,it was 12m!She shouted 'a Tsunami above the height of 10 m is attacking here now!Run away to the heights!Run away for your lives!She had shouted 44 times during the 24 minutes!When this record was found,we can realise the seriousness of the situation through her voice and also the atmosphere behind her.She continued to inform in a loud voice.Finally,someone shouted,Miki,go up!Go up!Only then she put the microphone down but the tsunami was 2 m higher than the rooftop of the building  so it flushed down the whole area.Now t,here is a rusty iron framework of the building which she was working until her death.A few people  were saved to have taken hold of the pole on the roof..
Her mother's tears were rushing down her cheeks listening to the record of Miki's last voice.She said 'my daughter did her very best sincerely to save many of the local people's precious lives!'
Ms Miki - the heroine!
