Dear Diary
Today I woke up with a huge smile on my face not realising that by nightfall I would be in tears.
At school, at around 11:00 am we were having our S.St period. Suddenly, I noticed tables and chairs shaking and heard everyone screaming 'Earthquake! Earthquake! Run! Run! We all ran like a frenzied mob to the playground. The earth shook like crazy. We all thought that we willl all die, but luckily all of us survived. The tremors lasted for around 20 seconds. When we came 4back indoors, we noticed many cracks, big and small, in different parts of the school building. The earthquake measured 6.7 on Richter scale, as informed to us later. We were all worried about our family members and there was a long queue at the shcool office for the use of telephone. The school authorities also realised our fear and anxiety and forwarded SMSes to our parents informing them about our safety and requested them to take us home.
Soon our parents were at the school. We were over joyed to see them unhurt. On returning home I learnt that our front porch had collapsed and Tuffy, my dearest dog, was injured. He was taken to a vet and is undergoing treatment. I pray for his recovery.
Today was the scariest day in my life!
