Wellington had another set of earthquakes this weekend start just before school ended on Friday.Unfortunately I was sick in bed but luckily I leapt into the doorway when the shaking started. As the rumble grew bigger I heard the smash of glass in my kitchen and my bookcase tumbled over.
After the earthquake, Wellington was choked by traffic and there were people swarming around in the street.
I stayed in my apartment and watched the scene from above.
Lots of my friends came to visit because they couldn't get out of the city and the day turned into an impromptu party.
How were you effected by the earthquake?
Did anyone from your family get stuck in Wellington?
Have you talked with your family about what you might do if your parents are stuck in Wellington? Why do you think it might be a good idea?
Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI wasnt effected at all in the earthquake because nothing fell down and everything was in shape.
No because my mum and dad left early before the traffic started to build up.
Yes we have because my dad will stay up in waikanae until he can get home to us and we also keep a survival kit in the garage.
Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteMichelle: I could feel small quakes at my house just enough to make things shake but not fall over.
Grace: Zoe sceamed in my face and then pulled me under the door and it really hurt but i'm still alive.
Michelle: No none of my family got stuck.
Grace: No mine weren't either.
Michelle: No we haven't.
Grace: No we haven't but we talked about what we should do when he is out some other place.

Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteWhen the earthquake happened it was still school and we were at our specs. Its started to shake harder and harder.
In Wellington my family told me what happened and updated her Facebook statuses.But they've never been stuck in town.
I haven't talked to any of my family if y parents get stuck in Wellington because my parents don't go to Wellington and my other family live in

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI thought all of the earthquakes had finished, so that gave me a big shock when it hit. My mum was at home and picked my brothers and I up, unfortunately my dad was in town but he managed to get home a bit earlier. There hasn't been any damage to my house, but my trampoline roof has fallen down.
If my parents were stuck in town I would be picked up by my one of my nabours, and I would stay there until one of my parents got home. I think it is a good idea to stay with my nabours because I have got someone to look after me who is responsible and could help me if I get hurt.

Dear, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteRam was affected by the earthquake when he fell off his bed. Nate was affected when he was sitting on the toilet. No one in our families were struck in Wellington. No we haven't talked about if our parents were struck in Wellington. We think it's a smart thing to do so everything is planned out.

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI didn't feel the earthquake because I live in Australia. I was in the airport heading to Melbourne when I saw it on the news.I have never actually experiences and earthquake, but I imagine it to be very scary.
When I was growing up I lived in Darwin which is at the top of Australia. Darwin experiences tropical storms and every now and then a tropical cyclone. I experienced 2 big tropical cyclones as a child. Our house was flooded and lots of trees were blown down. It was a little bit scary but we did lots of things to prepare. With cyclones, the bureau of meteorology keep a close eye on the radar images to track the cyclones movements. How do you know when a earthquake is coming?
