EARTHQUAKE

Earthquake!

At around 4:30am on Saturday 4th of September, disaster struck all around Christchurch. Walls were shaking, things were falling over and then the power went out. This is said to have been the biggest earthquake in years as it was felt all over the city. People were taking precautions even after the big shock, sitting in door ways and under hard tables clutching torches with loved ones. Farther away from the Westburn area, over in Avonside, many roads were leaking with water and whats said to be black sludge. In other parts of Canterbury, sewage pipes have come up from roads and old houses have been wrecked.
The airport is closed until 1pm and it is not suggested that people go out on the roads unless completely necessary. New Zealand is said to have been 10 years overdue for a big earthquake, was this it?

We hope everyone is safe,

keep others safe,
