It was a 70-degree winter day and K.C. Balaji and his family were relaxing on the sandy beaches in the Bay of Bengal, as they often do when they visit the southeastern coast of India. His 2-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son built sand castles, played ball and dodged waves as they lapped the shore. One week later, a deadly tsunami struck the tranquil beach, erasing everything in its path.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/tsunami3.jpg
