4 September 2010 at 4:35 am. You feel a shake rapidly growing. It starts moving furniture, plates and cups start smashing on the ground. What do you do? do you run? or do you hide underneath a table risking your life both ways?
This is what happened in Christchurch on the 4th of September 4:35am only 1 fatality and 2 serious injuries. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake 11km deep. About 2km away from Darfield but still managed to damage over 25,000 homes which people claimed insurance for which cost $437million.
1 died from a heart attack but it may have happened without the earthquake. 2 serious injuries but over 200 minor.
How would you feel in this situation? Feel free to comment.
We lived in Rolleston at the time and you slept right through. It was a very interesting time with all the aftershocks. You and Hayley would both be sitting on the floor playing and yell out aftershock and continue playing :)
