Surviving the Christchurch Earthquake: A Personal Account

In this gripping personal narrative, I recount my experience during the devastating Christchurch earthquake of 2010. It was a beautiful day, but at 4:35 PM, everything changed as a 7.1 magnitude quake struck near the city. I ran for safety and joined others in panic as widespread destruction began. With roads blocked and countless aftershocks following, survival seemed uncertain. I reflect on the loss of life, the chaos, and the resilience needed to rebuild amidst this tragedy. My story is one of survival and hope after a harrowing natural disaster.
