Earthquake!
___________________________________________________________________________
On Monday the 14th of November there was a 7.5 earthquake that rattled lots of towns around New Zealand. The earthquake struck near Hamner Springs at 12:02am. I had woken up just before my mum was about to shake me like a fizzy bottle. I rapidly hopped out of bed and stumbled to my bedroom doorway. My house was shaking like a milkshake getting blended. It had been shaking for like a minute then finally the drama was over. My Dad came up to see if we were OK (we were.) My Dad shouted out to my brother who was still lying in his bed awake “Nelson what are you doing” he shouted back “well there’s not much I can do” my Dad then said “well, you can get down here right now.” I think it was quite rude to talk back to your Dad like that. “Well, what a rocking start to the day.”
