Quinn Earthquake Diary

Me and Eve are going back to Christchurch in the weekend. School is back on Monday. I'm going to miss Mahana School and all the people that go there. We miss mum and dad and not to mention my friends. I'm not actually sure if my friends are all right I'll find out on Monday.

Once I got back from the walk we had lunch and played some cards. Then we started talking about me going up to Nelson. I really wanted to go so I rang up nan and pop and asked if I could come up. Once it was ok we went to the neighbours because they had a generator so we could charge mums phone and MUM WANTED ME TO GRIND SOME COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!! I did it and she had some coffee and watch the news.

Dad wanted to go around the neighbourhood and check if everybody was all right. I really wanted to go with him. I asked him so much he ended up not going. I felt bad about it. We brought the chairs over to the safest place outside the house for Nan and Pop to sit on. I was having breathing problems because of the trauma of the event. Mum had to race inside to get my inhaler.

A few hours later Aunty Ady and Uncle Chris arrived to take Nan and Pop up to Nelson. I really didn't want to stay in Christchurch so I went up with them as well. My parents and my brother were crying as the car drove away. I started crying too.

The next morning when I woke up I thought I had to get up for school, but just then there was a huge aftershock and I remembered the screams and the crying, the pure destruction. But I managed to get up and have breakfast and i decided to go for a walk. I went in to my school and there was a helicopter there but i decided not to bother them and carried on walking.

It was horrifying seeing it all. The destroyed houses, cats and dog running around, people crying everywhere i looked. That is all i saw. I can't remember how I felt, or I don't want to.
