Inside, some people were hugging each other while others were crying and shaking. It was unbelievable!"

I told her to run. As we were running the tremor was getting worse. The buildings were rocking from side to side and the roads were cracking. I was so scared I thought we weren't going to survive! Everybody was screaming and crying. It was terrible!"
