The earthquake

Rubble rumble! The ground shook.  My eyes flew open and I stumbled to my feet. I ran to my Mum and Dad's room but they were already awake. I asked them what just happened. They said 'it was a earthquake' I was shocked when I heard that, and ran to wake my brothers up. After that I ran to get my dog from his crate. While I was putting my dog in the car, my mum called Grandmother and my Aunt. 

When everyone got in their cars, we drove out of Wainui. There were three separate cars. My mum decided we should all go to my cousin's house and sleep there.  I found it hard to sleep at two in the morning, so I stayed up the whole night.

The next morning I went downstairs to eat breakfast. After breakfast we drove to school. 20 mins later I got pulled out of school. My Dad told me we were going back to my cousin's house. When my Dad and I got there I sprinted up to the gaming room to play rocket league. At 1:00 that afternoon all the warnings were canceled and I drove back home with my family.  

After all that I was so relieved that my family and I got back home safely.
