The interveiw.

At 12:00am a severe earthquake started in north canterbury near hanmer springs reaching a 7.6 magnitude.

What were your feelings as the earthquake started?

Jessie-I fell off my bed and hit my foot on the side table so painful.

What were you doing when the earthquake happened?

Jessie-I was asleep and then like I said I woke up with my face on the floor.

Did your family vacate the building you were in at the time?

Jessie-No we didn't really need to there wasn't a tsunami so we didn’t have to.

What's your opinion on earthquakes?

Jessie-Well kind of fun  and kind of not because like there's a small chance you could be in the tsunami and that wouldn't be fun at all.

Did the earthquake wake you?

Did the earthquake wake you.

Jessie-Well yeah .

So like many Waikanae residents, Jessie and her family had a very interesting and exciting experience with the earthquake. in other places there was a lot of damage caused by the earthquake. While many of us may feel scared of  such  a big  quake we hope Waikanae doesn’t have a similar shake in the future.
