It was an event that no one expected, we all slept peacefully. until at 2:00 am we felt that earthquake that made us wake up and run outside our houses. to prevent physical injury or perhaps death from happening to us.

Say what were you doing when it happened, how did you feel, and what were the results.

I was sleeping in my room when suddenly I felt the bed move and I got up quickly towards the living room where my parents were and then we left the house, the truth is I was super scared because I had never experienced something this ugly.

Say the things that could've happened, what may/might happen, what things you can't do now.

The things that would have happened to me would be that debris from the house would fall on me and hurt me or something worse would be that I would not have been able to get out of the house and would be trapped and could die. What I wish is that something as ugly as that earthquake doesn't happen again.

What did I do after the earthquake?

On that date I was only 13 years old, the only thing I did was help some neighbors remove some rubble from a wall that fell from their house, the next day I did not sleep peacefully thinking that another earthquake would happen again. For that reason I went to bed with fear.
