EarthQuake in ChristChurch

It was the 22nd of February when the a massive quake struck Christchurch around 12:51 pm. I was inside the classroom eating my lunch with Jackson and Caleb when the quake struck Christchurch. we were rushed out by Mr Harper and said ''go to the field'' so me Jackson and Caleb ran to the field. There we had to line up to our classroom all people were in the field all the young people and the older kids were all in the field with there teachers. Some parents got out of work so they can go if there son/daughter is alright. My mum was at work when the massive quake hit Christchurch. My mum rushed to school then she asked me if i was alright so i said ''I was alright'' i asked my mum if she was she said she was alright so i went and set back down to the field i saw some people were crying some older brothers/sisters were looking for there sisters and brothers. My dad came and ask my teacher Mr Barr if he could take me home. So when i was going home my mums work had an enormous broken glass. Me and my dad went to see it. my mum was crying because she was so frightened. So me and my dad went home and we checked if there was any power and i tried turning on the lights and the lights wasn't turning on so we had a lots of food. Luckily we had some food and  plenty of canned foods and chips and we had some clean water in the fridge. I wanted to watch the news but there was no electronics. I feel sad for the people with there house broken down and for people who are now living in the streets and for people which there loved ones have died form the earthquake. Ones the power was back on so i straightly turned on the t.v i watch the news. all our family back in Philippines called us. My mum was crying when she was talking to my Grandmum. My grandmum was crying because she didn't want anything  happen to us. I called my granddad who was in Auckland and he said he was watching the news, my granddad knew that there was another quake in Christchurch. My granddad said make sure you are all alright make sure you take care of your mum because she might faint. So my mum got home from work really tired and scared . I hope and pray that will be the last Earthquake in Christchurch. Christchurch doesn't look the same as what it did before .Christchurch was a beautiful place to live in now its all destroyed and broken down. I hope that Christchurch will look like what it looked liked before.
