Hi you guys maybe you have heard this maybe you han't.
A earthquake has hit the Western Side of USA. maybe you experinced...maybe you didn't.
I did.
I'll tell you, I know this is nothing about Higher Ground but I need to get it off my chest.
It was 10:55 and I was in 4th period in gym. I still think why did it have to be gym????
We were playin tennis I was partners w/ Angeline and was against two other girls. I remember it was my turn to serve.
Then I heard like boom boom boom. I thought someone was stomping their feet against the bleachers or someone was banging their rackets.
To my horror, when I turned around the basketball hoop was banging against the wall.
I didn't realize what if what till about 5 seconds later,when someone yelled Erathquake and the Coach,Coach Spice yelled Get against the wall.
All of us two classes combined ran to the wall,pushing,cursing and all. I ended up next to my enemy but I didn't really care. I could only stare in horror when the lights jangled and the hoop banged. It was ahorrible niose. The next part is blurry. A couple seconds after we went on the wall it stopped.
Coach Spice yelled at us to keep put and doo the duchandcover thing and we did. Kids cursed,whimpered,prayed, and talked on and on nervously. The boy next to me kept saying Why Gym?Shit I thought I was gonna die...
Then the principal got on the intercom and said stay here till further notcie. I prayed that aftershock would't occur.
Then a few miuntes later by the principals's demands we went outside and waited until the bell rang signaling to get back in.
Me and my friends dressed quickly and then we saw a TV saying about the Seattle Earthquake. My dad was in Seattle. A girl cried. We went to lunch and I was nervous about my dad. We watched more,chattered nervously and asked everyone about everything espectially Seattle.
I ate no lunch. To my suprise my mom came in tears and picked me up. I wished my friends good luck and left.
At home I faced another challenge. My dad. Was he dead?
Me and my mother tried everything to reach him.
The results:
My dad did come home! I thank God for that even though no on died just hurt bad.
My mom was thankful.
There was still school and I felt sorry for my friends and formor schoolmates that still stayed t school.
This was my first earthquake.
I will never foget it for years to come.
Don't be suprise if I don't write for a few days.
