[quote=GUESTJIMMY07,288254]Really horrible! When the earthquake happened, I was watching TV program lying in the bed. Suddenly, I felt that the bed was shaking. Strange! There was only one (me) in the house and I didn't move. Then I realized that there was something wrong. When I was trying to stand on the floor, I found that the house was shaking and I couldn't stand stably. At the moment, I was scared too much because I was in the sixth floor. If the apartment collapsed, I would die. Luckily, it ended in about one minute and my house was safe. Then I wore my clothes and shoes and went down stairs. About 10 meters to my apartment, I saw many people standing there and talking about the earthquake. When I calmed down, I went outside my community. In the green belt of the road, many people were standing there. I guess that they escaped from the 20-floor building opposite of the road. Talking with a guy standing beside me, I knew that a destructive earthquake happened in Wenchuan in Sichuan Province. However, I was in Xi’an, far from Wenchuan. The earthquake was really horrible.

Then I tried to call my dad and mom to see if they were ok. More frustratedly, I couldn’t get through and it was cut off automatically. Without other ways, I was trying to send a text message. About 7 minutes later, it was sent off successfully. Several minutes later, I received a message from my dad, which said that they were safe. Good news! My cellphone rang again. I saw there was a new message from my friend. He said that he had heard there was an earthquake and wanted to know if I was safe. To be honest, I was deeply moved by him. Someone remembered me! Since his parents were also in Baoji, he asked me if Baoji was seriously affected by the earthquake. I told him that it was not because my dad told me that they were safe. Suddenly, I remembered that one of my friends was spending his holiday in Chongqin. I tried many times to call him, send him short messages but failed. I didn’t know what happened to China Mobile. About 5o’clock in the afternoon, I eventually contacted him. He told me that he was at Jiefangbei (解放碑) when the earthquake happened. He told me that he didn’t what happened and just saw that many people rushing out of the tall buildings. Then he realized that something happened. Finally, he knew that it was the earthquake. Luckily, he didn’t get hurt. By the way, he told me that he once tried calling me several times but failed. Nearly seven o’clock, I tried to call a friend but failed. I found that sending short messages was ok but I couldn’t make a telephone.
