The earthquake

On saturday the 4th of september there was an earthquake. It was 7.1 magnatude on the Richter scale. When it happened I jumped out of bed and under my doorway. The earthquake was the biggest one since 1930. When we were sure that the big one was over we ran downstairs and under the table. Dad went to get pillows, duvets and torches. The earthquake had hit at 4:30 in the morning so we still had a big sleep. In the morning we went out for a drive to look at the buildings that had been damaged. It was mainly brick buildings that had been around for a long time. Our chimney was made of brick so the bottom of it was cracked and it was on a slight lean. We stayed at our grandparents house after that since it was up on a hill in redcliffs and we were close to our cousins, so we were with faimily. I hope there is not another earthquake!
