"A tsunami, when it approaches, is silent. A brown mass of water billowing towards the bedroom where I and my partner, Robert, were sitting on the bed in Khao Lak, in Phang Nga province just north of Phuket in Thailand."

Alexa Moses' first-person account of surviving the tsunami, in the Sydney Morning Herald. It's written in particularly unadorned prose, which makes it all the more affecting.

I note that this is a tourist's account, but those are the only reports I've found so far in English.
