The year 2009 is remembered for the strong earthquake that occurred in May of that year, and also for government problems. There were many people injured, houses destroyed, as well as bridges and streets.

When the earthquake happened I was 5 years old. I was asleep at the time of the catastrophe, my parents woke me up and took me outside, my father in the middle of the tremor hurt his foot with a nail while carrying me, and my mother was pregnant, so it was very difficult to leave the house quickly, it looked very scary.

I remember the power went out, and everyone was worried about an old tree that was so big, if it fell it could bring down six houses.

As there was no light, we stayed in the garden of the house, because the earth kept on moving. When the lights went out, by candlelight, I used to make figures with my hands on the wall. My mother might have been playing with me at that time so that I wouldn't be afraid. But I know she was more afraid than I was.

At the beginning, I didn't know what was going on.

I felt a little excited because I had never experienced that. But when I saw that the walls were cracked, I was too scared.

An earthquake can cause fires, tsunamis, landslides or avalanches. I don't remember landslides near my area, but it not enough strong to cause one.

Now I know the precautions, if there is no time to get out, find a safe place, such as a table, duck and cover. There may be time to get out, if so get as far away from the building or house as you can.
