However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. Finally, her mother decided to continue the walk alone, and the rest of her family returned to the hotel.

Yes. Because Tilly noticed something strange and took action right away to save other people.
People should know some basic knowledge of natural disasters and how to protect themselves from the disasters.
