My first earthquake

It was 3 o'clock when I decided turn off the computer and go to sleep. I washed my theets and I went to my bedroom wich is on the second floor. I turn the tv and it's so bored, so i turn off and turn off the light to try to sleep but i couldn`t . Five minutes later, started to tremble.
I thought it could be a little tremor, but it continuos and incremented its intensity, then I left my bed. I shouted to my brother, he was in the next room. He gave me the instructions but I was nervous and I couldn't react. The stairs was the only way to salvation but we were afraid. Suddenly we went down quickly. I woke my mother and we go outside. Finally the seism end.
All the neighbours went out to the streets with candles and lanterns because we suffer an energy cut. Others went to visit their families, by cars or walk to know how their were, because the cell phones did not worked. We received the information from the radio.
