The Earthquake

I was looking in the room 10 window at 12:51 pm.I was standing there and I heard a roar and the ground started rumbling .I thought it was an aftershock or a mini quake but this time it went on and on I knew then it was another earthquake .
I ducked in to a turtle until it stopped then I ran to the court with everyone else and we ran to our class lines everyone was in shock.
Liquefaction started bursting out from the ground angrily I thought the earth plates must be mad with each other. When I looked around lots of people were crying for there Mum and Dad I wanted to be with my family and wondered where Mum and Dad and Eilish were.
It felt safe with everyone else and the teachers but I wondered what would happen next. I saw my mum she got me and my sister and we walked through the liquefaction it felt slimy. I felt relieved when we got to the car then we drove to my grand parents to see if they were all right that night we had my whole family stay the night . The house was full with people and it was fun and I was happy to be with people I love.
I feel sad that the earthquake has caused deaths and people have lost people they love.And it is sad for people who have lost there houses, businesses and jobs .
It is going to be different living in Christchruch. I hope there are no more earthquakes in Christchurch and Canterbury.
