Petra Nemcova recounts tsunami experience

Supermodel Petra Nemcova knows about tsunamis. She survived the 2004 Indonesian tsunami by clinging onto a tree for hours. Says Nemcova, "To see [the images] on Friday morning was horrifying. My heart was broken. My love was going to everyone in Japan. It's something so hard to imagine without going through. And I can imagine it because of my experience. You just feel hopelessness."

Nemcova can be also be seen in the new season of Dancing With the Stars, which is quite a feat considering she had major surgery and had to learn to walk again after her 2004 ordeal.
