On September 4th Christchurch was hit by a 7.1 earthquake. Most families camped out under tables with buckets as toilets. Everybody was affected in different ways. People cringed when trucks passed. It sharpened all your senses. No deaths occurred because it was so early in the morning. Hundreds of aftershocks followed.
Christchurch Refugees on PhotoPeachOn February 23rd Christchurch was hit by another major earthquake except this time it was a 6.3. Even though it was smaller, many lives were stolen leaving Cantabrians heartbroken. Many families have taken refuge in Nelson and Motueka. We are five of the Cantabrian refugees staying in room 6 Madde, Jamie, Tegan, Tayla and Joosje. We all agree we feel safer in Motueka and its great that we can go to school away from all the shakes.
