So, I heard about the Tongan man, Lisala Folau, who survived being washed away by the Tongan tsunami. But I know his niece, Elisiva, was also washed away. Does anyone have an update on if she survived or has been found? Is she still missing? I have been praying for her.

Tongan man survives 27 hours at sea after tsunami

A 57-year-old Tongan man being hailed a real-life Aquaman for surviving 27 hours at sea after Saturday's devastating tsunami struck his island said he went under nine times before latching onto a log and making it to safety.

"On the eighth time I thought, the next time I go underwater that's it, because my arms were the only things that were keeping me above water," Lisala Folau, who is disabled and cannot walk properly, told Reuters from Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa.
