Earthquake

At 4.35am there was a 7.1 earthquake on 4th September.  I remember me and Dad were sleeping in Dads bed.  Mum was at work.  Dad just rolled over me and I said "Dad whats happening".  Dad said "Its an earthquake." I said "Oh".  So me and Dad watched as we heard the china stuff fall over.

I thought it was never going to stop.  But it did.  My Dad got up and said "We've got some damage."  So Dad got our battery running torch and radio.  Then there was an aftershock.  Dad quickly got the cell phone.  My two brothers called.  "Are you alright Dad?" they said.  Dad said "We've got no  power and no water."  I said to Dad I hope Mums OK.  We were lucky only a picture frame and a glass broke.
