Last Saturday there was a earthquake. It was at 4.35am in the morning! The earthquake was 7.4. It was wobbly. In the earthquake I woke up when Dad came charging in. Suddenly I heard a bang then my Dad shouted my name. Next my Dad carried me down the stairs. The stairs were moving and Dad slipped over. He tried to keep me up. We got out of my room when Mum called Dad. Mum said, “Jason, Jason.” My Dad put me down. Then Dad went to Nathan that was crying. Mum hugged me tight then everything was quiet. Suddenly the bookcase fell over, just in front of Dad! Dad froze. Then Mum took me to the table. Dad got Nathan. We all had to stay under the table for two hours! Wow that was freaky because there were humongous aftershocks and a large disaster!
