I was at QEII when it happened and I was scared. The earthquake caused a wave to come and flood all over QEII. Miss Moreton got wet shoes and her phone got soaked. She got so wet her shoes took days to dry out. I got out of QEII and sat down outside.

I was at QEII when the 6.3 earthquake hit and some kids started to yell. Mr Comley, my dad and Mr Ching saved the day. Ten kids went back in Mr Comley’s or Mr Ching’s car to Burwood School. Then at 3.10 Mum picked me up and there was glass everywhere in my house.
