I fell out of bed straight away!!! I thought I was dreaming for a start. My bed was shaking very strongly.I turned on my lamp and I had no idea what was happening.
Suddenly Mum came in during an aftershock.
“Are you all right?”, she asked.
“Yes”, I said sleepily.
I went and got into bed with Mum and Dad. The lights were still shaking! Mum turned on the radio.
It said that an earthquake had struck very badly in Christchurch. On the Richter scale it was a magnitude of 7.4. My Dad said that we only got the ripple of the earthquake because it was badly struck in Christchurch.
I couldn’t get to sleep for quite a while. I was still shaking the next day.
