Earthquake!!!

Did you feel the earthquake on October 17? I was sitting in the kitchen eating dinner when everything started to shake. I thought it was people jumping around above us, but then I saw on the news that it was an actual earthquake! I want you to tell me if you felt the earthquake or not, and if you did, where were you and what did you think was happening? If you didn't feel it, tell me what you were doing at 7:18 on Wednesday. Please make sure you are writing 5th grade sentences.

  2. When the earthquake struck on October 17, I had just gotten home from soccer. My parents and I were standing in the kitchen when, BAM, the earthquake struck! My sister had just asked to go to the computer and do IXL, so we thought it was her jumping or doing something crazy! After the earthquake struck, my dad had guested that it was an earthquake! He went online and found out that he was right! The earthquake started in Maine and traveled her. We had no idea thet it was coming! I have never felt an earthquke before so it was cool to finially feel one right below me!

  15. When the earthquake happened while I was making dinner/watching TV. I said to myself "I love this part." I thought it was the washing machine going mad, because it can shake even though it says it shouldn't, it was the good part! and it cuts it off to say Like 3 seconds after it stopped, it said "We inturupt this program to bare breaking news, an earthquake has just occured within the New England region area of the northern Manchester-Boston and southern areas of Lebanon,NH. No severe damage reported. Now back to your regularly scheduled program." "Are you kidding me! I missed the entire part were they borrow the Battleship and knock out the main alien! NOO! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    Bye! [P.S. This was by Dillon Simpkins] :]

  16. At the time I was eating dinner. As soon as the ground started rumbling, I looked at my mom and we said "Earthquake." We said this because we had been through many earthquakes in California. That's what I was doing on Wednesday October 17, 2012, at 7:18.

  19. Hi Mr. C.,
    I was watching Wheel of Fortune with my family and then my dad yelled, "Earthquake!" Me and my dad went outside and saw our neighbor and she said, "Did you feel that?" My Dad said, "Yes, I think it was an earthquake." She said, "My bed was shaking! I didn't know what was going on." When we got inside, we saw that it was on the news. My dad was right, it was an earthquake. mns
