Earthquake

I was so frightened. The whole house was shaking. It is so good the whole family is alright. Christchurch got in the middle of it. The earthquake was 7.1 on the Richter Scale. That's big. It is good no one died from it. Some families are still frightened because there are big aftershocks. Some families have gone to the North Island to stay for a while. The house is still good. We are all safe. No roads are crashed in Timaru. Christchurch is destroyed. All of the roads are crashed. My Dad has to go to Christchurch to help them out but he is coming home to see us tonight. Me and Mum are so glad that he is coming home. We haven't seen him in ages.
