Earthquake by Joe

One Saturday morning it was all quiet until BOOM an earthquake hit. Things were falling off shelves and out of cupboards. The noise was unbearable with the shaking. The power went out. We couldn’t see. After shocks rattled the house. This is what an earthquake is like.

Lucy's Earthquake Poem

Earthquake surprises us
Around us shaking
Roaring sounds
Tapping at the window
Helpless feelings
Quick run
Under the door frame
All together we are safe
Keep filling the water bottles
Earth is powerful.

Sue's Wobbly Chimney

Here is a photo of our chimney before it was pulled down yesterday, brick by brick. I'm pleased it was taken down because that aftershock last night would have certainly seen it crashing through our roof.
