Christchurch Earthquake




At 4.35 am Saturday morning an earthquake struck Christchurch. The earthquake measured 7.1 on the Richter Scale. The epicenter was 10km below the earth.

There was extensive damage caused by the earthquake over a large area. The damage made buildings collapsed down. Houses got destroyed in the earthquake with 450 needed to be demolished.

It was a danger time during the earthquake caused lots of danger from the houses falling on cars. The dangerous thing was the glass shattering all around the ground and people’s T.V.s getting smashed. Luckily only 1 person died from the earthquake.

I felt like I was in the earthquake too but I wasn’t. When I watch the news I was thinking that I was the person that had died. Well luckily it was not me that had died.
