My Holiday
A big highlight in my holidays is going to Wellington and being in the earthquakes. The first one was at about seven o'clock in the morning. It started with the rumble, then the windows were shaking and then the beds were moving. My first reaction was to jump up and get into the doorway, but my friend in the room opposite me didn't do the same he just stayed in bed while the earth was moving like crazy. Later that day we found out the magnitude was 5.7. For the rest of the trip I was extremely scared there were lots of earthquakes after that but one there was one that was huge it was a magnitude of 6.5. It hit when we were in the street walking home, all of a sudden I wasn't walking in a straight line, I was going all over the place. There was a huge apartment building next to us that was swaying like crazy. The noise was horrific. It sounded like millions of sheets of glass shattering into a million pieces, even though no windows that we could see were braking. It was a scary but cool expose.
