When happened the earthquake...

I slept when I felt a small tremor I was in my bed thinking about what would happen next. But as the seconds passed tremor became stronger and stronger, until I said "this is an earthquake." In that moment, my brother got up frightened, and then I shouted "come to bed with me Felipe!" I stayed with him until the inferno finished. However it had just begun.

Then mom and dad got up to see that all was well then got dressed and we called our relatives and friends to know how they were. When it was 04:00 am. we found a battery- radio and we learned of the magnitude of this catastrophe.

After two hours hearing the radio we went to bed though I couldn’t sleep.

The earthquake taught me that we are insignificant creatures, to be supportive with the needy, to have good communication with my neighbours and to value the family, the friend, and the gift of the life.
