Current Events Week 10 Christchurch Quake.

In Christchurch on Saturday morning at 4:00 there was a big earth quake. It was as big as the Hati earthquake! But nobody died & I think that's a miracle! Schools are closed & people have to go to the toilet outside & their parents have to boil water before they drink it. My Sister & her friend were upstairs & they said they felt it & got scared. My Dad said he heard the house crack. But I slept right through it. Buildings have been crashed & on the Ritcher scale it was 7.1. people have been having to sleep in a high school where nice people and the Salvation Army are having fun by setting up board games & other stuff like that & the Salvation Army is dishing up food. I think it is very nice & caring. I hope it gets better.
