‘September earthquake’-Molly, 12, Kaiapoi Borough School
On the 4th pf September somewhere around 4:00am a 7.1 earthquake struck. I was in my bed asleep. My cat dug his claws into my arm. It woke me up and then everything started moving and shaking violently. I pulled the covers over my head and put my hands over my face. I thought the roof was going to fall on me. When it stopped my dad came down the hall to see me. Some jib board was in the hallway and got jammed in the door. My dad only just managed to move it and then I walked down the hall to my Mum and dad’s bedroom. That was the scariest point in my whole entire life!
