My scary experience

My latest scary experience is the WenChuan earthquake on May 12, 2008. Although the epicenter is far from my home, we can have an obvious feel of quake. On that afternoon, I just came to bookshop to buy some textbooks and came home by bus. When our bus came through the crossroad, I saw lots of many people come out of the shop and go to the road. At first, I thought may be there is something wrong with the construction of subway. We just kept going on our way. At this time our bus began to shake, but all our passengers thought that is the poor road; the bus driver shout to passengers that don’t shake and jump in the bus, and I looked back naturally and there is no one shaking. I saw more and more people gathered on the road. When I arrived, I knew that an earthquake was happened. When I called my family, there is no signal at all because all people were calling at the same time. We worried about aftershocks, so we prepare some food and devices. We were alert at night and couldn’t have a full sleep.
During the next few days, I learnt how terrible the earthquake was. Every day when I turned on TV and internet, I could cry. The amount of victim in this destructive earthquake is up to almost 10 thousand.
