Wow really? Another earthquake? (First one here) Maybe my mama and Jaya bought it back with them from Chch.
I was sitting on the bed. Ishaan was playing on the floor. NOt sure what mama and Jaya were doing but Jaya felt it first.
"Earthquake" he said. We didn't believe him. He's just imagining things because he's been in shaky Christchurch for so long.
"No really, look at the water dispenser, the water is shaking"
Suddenly I felt the bed wobbling! I stood up and went into the lounge to look at the water dispenser and Jaya was right. The photo frames on the walls suddenly started to shake and rattle and mama and I stood in the doorway and looked at each other. It didn't stop - in fact it was slowly getting bigger and with every second it kept going, we got more scared. And then we realised we're on the third floor of a brick building, which meant if it got even bigger and more dangerous, we were in the worst place to be. I grabbed my cellphone on the bed and dragged Ishaan out the door and down the stairs, following closely behind mama and Jaya.
Before we reached the 2nd floor, it stopped. We slowed our steps and waited.. and then headed back up to the apartment. The following half hour saw us searching the internet for information, chatting to Mandakini on the phone about the excitement and answering a few emails that were going around the community about this sudden movement in the earth.
Here's the stats:
