Why I’ve always loved @PatMcAfeeShow

"A ten-year-old started screaming about a wave no one could see—and 100 people lived because her parents believed her. December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together. Then Tilly noticed something wrong. The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in."" The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling."" Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant. Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely. Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her. She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!"" They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm. But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic. ""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami."" Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter. By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said. Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately. Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die."" They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare. Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall. Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something."" The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out. But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died. Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class. Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide. Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died."" Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family."" Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives. That's the power of education.

@ma1ybe This was happening when abortion was legal btw

Hot take but we literally tried to warn you that this is what happens when abortion access isn’t accessible.

That time Kyle Busch saw one of his fans wearing his hat while driving RIP to a legend

@codiguillos Hell yeah

🇺🇸 | En Estados Unidos abrieron una cafetería en la que todos los trabajadores tienen síndrome de Down. ¿Comerías allí? ☺️

@RonKnowsSports I live in WI--and I get it lol

Micah Parsons seems to spend more time in Dallas than GB. He’s chilling at the Mavericks game.

@NFLMemes Duuuuude... 😂

Kyler Murray took the time to meet with Vikings staffers at the practice facility after signing 🙌

@NFL_DovKleiman That's pretty standard

Wow: Former Rams cheerleader Maxxine Dupri revealed to Logan Paul that cheerleaders in both the NFL and NBA are NOT allowed to "fraternise" with the players. “It’s against our contract. On the Los Angeles Rams if someone found out you’d be off the team.” 😳😳😳

Is Stidham Nick Foles? @Broncos

@MikeMcCartney7 Expecting great things from you coach 😂

Possible but keep that between us

@ProFootballTalk Because two of his coaches have tried imposing the Patriots way outside of Foxborough and it doesn't work

The Bills have gone outside the box to interview Philip Rivers, who has no college or pro coaching experience. If the goal is to finally win a Super Bowl, why not consider Bill Belichick, who has done it six times? nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

Browns are going to be forced to ask Urban Meyer to step in as HC. No one wants this job. Though Meyer will almost certainly fail the personality test

@heckyessica Im from WI and to be clear--we would be struggling with the weather the south is getting. However--most of us do indeed have air conditioning.

How are people not understanding that the north and south are BUILT DIFFERENTLY?! Yall have the infrastructure to handle this. We do not. Just like most Yanks I know don’t have AC. And we like a good 65° on our AC in the summer. Comparing fricking WI with TEXAS is nuts

@Raindropsmedia1 There are toxic men...but damn are there also toxic women

Woman says she stopped speaking to a man she just met because he told her “I hope you feel better” after she said she didn’t feel well. She claims it’s a red flag that he didn’t do more than that. “Where are the real men that lead?” 👀🤔

@AmandaHeldOpelt I laugh when you guys get a couple inches and shutdown. This storm is a different beast and no laughing matter

Before y’all start making fun of southerners for “freaking out” about a snow storm, remember that we simply don’t have the infrastructure to handle these types of storms. Our power grid can’t handle it. We don’t have the plows or road salt supply.

You can think Keon Coleman has been a net negative this season. That's fine. He did absolutely nothing to deserve getting dragged through the mud and spoken about like he's a commodity and a mistake by Terry Pegula. It was a low class attack on a player that was entirely uncalled for.

Ryan Shazier didn’t just react to Mike Tomlin leaving — he felt it. And when he opened up about what Tomlin meant to him, #SteelersNation heard every word.

Darius Slay to Brandon Beane:

A 4-year-old Steelers fan brought her Terrible Towel to every cancer treatment.. She is a cancer survivor in remission! Way to go IVY!!!

NFL head coaches in 2022. Only 9 of 32 still remain.
