In the weekend there was an earthquake. It was scary. When the earthquake struck my mum got me out of bed. I got dressed, so did my dad and my mum, then we went into the living room. My dad found the gas cooker, he lit it, we all had a drink, we stayed up […]

In the earthquake glass fell on the ground, my brother woke me up. My mum yelled out to me, and then my dad got the lantern.

On Saturday when the earthquake happened I shouted “help”. Lots of things were falling. “Crack! Bang, bang, bang!” Then Billy came into our room and we went into dad’s bed. He brought the radio up. After awhile I went to sleep. A few days later me and Billy made a hideout under his table. It […]

On Saturday there was an earthquake. I was snoring away and there was a big noise like this: boom! Bam! Crash! Crack! Bang! Our dog, Chester, was howling. My mum had to drag me out of bed, it was very frightening. We went in the doorway, and then we went in our mum and dad’s […]

Not last Saturday but the Saturday before, there was an earthquake. It was scary, I didn’t like it. Dad said “Are you o.k.?” I said “I’m fine” he said “good”. Then we went downstairs, it was really messy. Cheryl had a torch. I said “It is so messy”. Dad said “there is lots of broken […]

As I was sleeping a massive earthquake struck on Saturday the 4th of September, not helping was my dream about a caravan thinking my family was in it going to roll backwards onto the road. I hid under my covers hoping it was just a dream it wasn’t. My dad came in and said “are […]

In the earthquake I got a shock.  I went under my brother’s bed.  I thought my brother was shaking the bed. There are little cracks in my house but not on the driveway.

I was scared when the earthquake happened.  I got into bed with mum and dad. Dad went and got the torches from the garage.  It felt good with Mum and Dad.

My heart was racing when the earthquake was shaking.  My draws flew out and dad had to get me out of my bed. There are cracks in the driveway, walls and floor now.

The earthquake was scary.  We got under the table like a turtle and held onto its legs.  We have cracks in our house but someone will try and fix them.

When the earthquake happened I thought I was in an army truck but I didn’t care. Just as I was about to go back to sleep Daddy called ‘Millie, earthquake get into my bed’. He had been bashing against the walls. I was squashed in my Mum and Dad’s bed. It was freaky. In the morning […]

I felt our house  moving and I thought it was going to crash into our next door neighbours fence.   It was sort of scary. I was going to go back to sleep when Dad said ‘it’s an earthquake’. Mum shouted ‘get the kids’ .

There was a terrible after shock, rattling the ground like a monster beneath my feet The earth shook like it had been placed in a rocking chair and with a crack the ground broke. Sand volcanoes broke the surface of the ground, the Avon splashed over its banks The sound of glass shattering pierced in […]

On Saturday my brother said it felt like a giant picked up our house and shook it all around.
