The Earthquake

At 4:35 on September the 11th 2010 there was a earthquake in Christchurch and Canterbury. According to my dad I slept through half of it. It was really freaky and I could hear things around me falling. When I realized it was a earthquake I ran under my doorframe. When we were sure the earthquake was over we went down to the garage and listened to the radio in the car. We couldn't listen to the radio or sterio in our house beacause they needed electricity. Then my mum and Dad made coffee on our campstove/gascooker. Later on in the day we scootered around to look a the damage. There was no damage in our house. It was amazing beacause the was a wineglass sitting on the edge of a table and it didn't fall. There was a guy on the otherside of the road and his chimly fell on him.
