It Really was an Earthquake
Alexandra Pacheco from Venezuela
One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at one of our houses which had a pool. We had a big party which we enjoyed very much.
When we were all in the pool, I asked my best friend, "Don't you think we are having too much fun in this party?" She asked me why I said that, and I really didn't know, but I felt dizzy. A few minutes later, my friend said, "It's an earthquake."
It really was an earthquake. It was strange because we actually enjoyed it. We had no idea that in some parts of the country many people were scared and most of them lost their houses.
For example, in Puerto La Cruz there are many house boats. Also, there are too many houses built on the mountains, and most of those houses were destroyed, so many people lost their homes.
That earthquake wasn't strong, but the weather report didn't say anything about it, so no one knew it was coming or had time to prepare for the consequences. After the earthquake, people didn't have food or bottled water and many of them died.
