Drae, 10, Hororata Primary School
The house was shaking. Roaring like an ogre. The rumbling woke me up it was like a giant picked the house up and threw it like a rag doll. I was terrified. I thought it was the end. “Drae! Drae!” screamed Mum. I was too shocked to reply, it was carnage. It is an earthquake! As we sprinted down stairs, my heart stopped. As we entered the car I dozed off to forget this historic morning.
