Earthquake Responses
Arrh, Room 4 Nice and quiet Marking a test Rumble, rumble in a flash under the desks we go! Destroying earthquake Holding and hugging each other Hoping Christchurch was going to be ok A normal school day turns out to be a DISASTER ZONE! People crying for their mums and dads Mums and Dads running in for their kids Their faces red and blushed tears in their eyes Not knowing what to say I felt scared But I knew what to do Keep me calm!

Screams filled the classroom, The first thing that shot into my mind was Micayla, my sister, It was her first year at high school, I ran to my mum and asked if everyone was alright, She said, I don't know. That's when reality kicked in. I went to go and have my lunch all I saw was red faces. I blocked out everybody talking but I could still hear the drip,, drop, pitter, patter of teardrops hitting the solid concrete ground. I was so confused about what had just happened in the last minute, It was like a puzzle with one missing piece, It was like a word with one missing letter or one missing piece to my heart.

Later I heard about the devastation in town. I thought about all those people who had lost everything and the people and the people who had lost their lives and that they would never be able to see sunlight again. So every night now I think about my day. I make the most of everything just in case I don't wake up in the morning, I know I've made the most of my life.

Bang! The earthquake struck at lunch time. Sending distraction and destruction all over the city. Only five kilometres out of Christchurch and five kilometers deep the earth quaked with great force. The second earthquake that has stuck Canterbury in six months. The earthquake was at a bad time of day with people all over the place with buildings collapsing and acting like a death trap. Tragedy struck. With the death of loved ones not knowing if there loved ones would come back or not. My dad was in sockburn driving to burger king on that terrifying day. Dad thought that he had a flat tyre but then he saw people running out of buildings. Dads building partner George was in a concrete building came out and said that was a good one. Finally mum came to pick us kids up from school. Mum feeling worried about us and our new house made us see a different side of her
