Tiruchendur miracle during Tsunami attacks

[Srinivas]

While all parts of coastal Tamil Nadu was hit by Tsunami sea waves,
(the christian shrine of Velankanni and a church in Kanchipuram being
no exceptions), Tiruchendur, one of the famous 6 holy shrines of Lord
Karthikeya was totally unaffected.

Usually, sea water comes very close to this shore temple. However ,
while the Tsunami waves were attacking the shores across tamil nadu,
the sea receded away from this shore temple by 0.75 mile revealing the
rocks which are usually submerged! The sea came back to its usual
position in the afternoon by around 1 PM only.

This event was photographed/videographed by many devotees who were
visiting the temple at that time. People are not able to assign any
other reason other than devine intervention and the power of the
shrine.

The report says - "The second thing we did was to discuss (with our
Tiruchendur colleague) the local topography and the normal behaviour at
these two locations during high and low tide. He confirms that the high tide
never affects the temple"

Question: Why it never affects the temple ?

"The promontory acts (our feeling, but note that this is based on deductions
without any "hard" surveys and high-resolution numerical simulations) as a
barrier and this saved the temple on the north of the promontory"

Question: Do "feelings" have a place in scientific analysis ?

During the Tsunami, water did not enter our Lady s Shrine at Velankanni. People who left the shrine to play in the sea , died NM

Then I would say the temple architects were geniuses and understood the topology of the place so well, that they built a temple there claiming sea water wouldn't affect it even during tsunami, and people could have taken shelter there.
If you don't believe in miracles, I can only pray that you start witnessing them soon.
