LARGE EARTHQUAKES IN MY COUNTRY (raffle update)
9 years ago
Ok so on Sunday night here in New Zealand, just after midnight we had a huge earthquake down in the south island, it was 7.5
I live in the bottom of the North island but could definitely feel it as if it was centered where I live.
At the time my bf and I were sitting on the couch eating biscuits and then we felt a swaying motion, we looked around and saw that things in the room was shaking. He told me not to worry as I tightly grabbed onto his arm. Then the earthquake started to pick up and got rather violent. Our tv in our room jumped onto the floor but other than that everything else was fine. Straight after the earthquake we had multiple aftershocks right after each other. We've had earthquakes also in Seddon (near the top of south island), earthquakes in my city and earthquakes up north from me in Taupo.
In the south island there are a people stuck in a town with no way in or out, a few people are injured and 2 people are dead.
Last night I was up until 5am because there were tsunami warnings for the east coasts of our country. Where my house is we were in a yellow zone but we got abit worried once we heard that down south there was waves up to 3-5 meters. Since then though all the tsunami warnings have been cancelled.
Many roads are cracked, there are landslides and buildings in my city are damaged ~ not just cracked but also glass fell out of tall buildings.
I was so supposed to have a nurse appointment tomorrow in the city but that has now been cancelled because the building is unsafe. I need a repeat on my pills ugh.
I will still hold the raffle but it probably won't be this week, I am very stressed out, earthquakes are my biggest fear
