My earthquake experience

That day i was indesisive about go out or not -but be alone at home was less interesting- so i call a friend.
He ad a party with friends that at moment i just had seen once, but i'm no afraid about meet new people, so we go there.
In the party fortunately i found some people who talk and dance, friends of friends. At the moment it was fun. The house was nice and it was there's a lot of nice people too.
When everithing started i was dancing whith a friend salsa, and we didn't realised until someone yelled "it's shaking!"...in that moment we all were outside in the yard's house.
Everyone kept still; some people stayed under the grapevine, others and me stayed under the terrace, my friend with someone else stayed under a three... some one was near to the pool, so he got wet (after all pass, we all laugh of him).... all that things i can saw while it was shaking;
At that moment i was thinking "it's going to stop, be calm", but in one moment i realised that it didn't stop... then one guy started to yell "it's the end, this it's the end!" (i think it was the same one who give advice of the shake..) someones try to get calmed him.. we all saw that we couldn´t stay standing... now we were afraid.
In this moment i feared that the earth would open up... but then it started to stop.
I really thought it was only a shake... the ligth was off so someone brouth a car and turned on the radio... we all were listening... "the earthquake was grade 8"... i couldn't believe it!
We all were trying to call our family... my friend was desespered, because his parents were at that moment in Valparaiso with his little son. A friend of him was in the same situation.
Fortunaly they could talk whith them's familys after an hour.
My sister was with her family in my parent's house in Curicó. She called me and telled that all my family there was fine.
After an hour and a alf we decided to get back to hour houses.
In my house was all fine.. like nothing happened. Amazing.
After all, i just could realise that it was a really eathquake when the ligth come on and i could see the news..
For me just was a large shake...

  1. It realy was a very very large shake. Luckily you were outside the house, in the yard, its very less dangerous.

    I really thought that was only a shake too, and that was so strong only because the building (on my case), but like you, I didn`t realize that was a earthquake, not until we heared the radio. It was strange, because we only could pick Argentinean signals at first, and even there they were speaking about a long shake there.

    See you next class I hope, bye bye
