Earthquake in Canterbury, .

On Saturday there was an earthquake at 4:40am and it was freaky! My photo fell on me. There were lots of after quakes. It sounded like a truck. Then Jacob and I went in mum and dad's bed , dad went to look if everyone was okay.


Then we went to soccer in the morning . While we were playing there was an after quake I didn't feel it because I was running
around.The power wasn't working and you couldn't watch tv. Just at lunch time there was another after quake.

When I was biking home later that morning an earthquake occured and Jacob fell off his bike. The after quakes might go on for weeks.On Sunday there were small after quakes at 6:57 and 7:10 and then a very big after quake . Some of the earthquakes sounded like the wind.

When I was sleeping an after shock woke me up at 7:22 and then I heard helicopters are looking for people. At 7:30 when I was watching tv there was another after quake. At breakfast time there was an earth quake and that quake shook down some photos. After some earthquakes you could sometimes hear the floor grumbling. At afternoon tea time there were two afterquakes in 5minutes some causing some home roofs to smashed.On Monday at tea time there were two earthquakes in 1minute.
