the big shake

The big shake

Hi my name is Ioana and I am going to tell you about the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that had happened in central wellington at 5:09.

On Sunday the 20^th I was at home we had people stay over because it was my dad’s birthday party. We were all relaxing until………….   a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit central wellington at 5:09.

Everything started to move we all ran outside I felt like I was on a boat the lights started shaking the doors were rattling painting fell over I was really scared the trees were shaking side to side. Then I realized it was an  earthquake that was the first  time I ever experiment an earthquake it was really strong. My 2 cozens were really scared but the good thing it only lasted up to 20 seconds.

Everybody was safe and sound we all got prepared for  another big shake but only one single painting fell down  some were  a bit crocked but no body got hurt which was good I was really frightened by it that another would not happen and the holidays would go back to normal.

Thank you for reading my story on earthquakes if you have experiment a bad earthquake before well I hoped you have enjoyed this story about it.
