Yesterday’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake caused damaged in my house. It caused the water heater in my garage to split open, causing water to spill out from it. So it flooded our garage and we had a mess to clean up. We had to turn off the water source for our house so we were water-less for the night. We had to shower at my grandma’s house. This morning, people came to replace the water heater. Big money was spent on it. So earthquake damage in my house.
This earthquake was as big as Haiti’s back in January but caused far less damage then Haiti. Only 2 people in Mexacali, Mexico, died. Over 20 million people felt this quake. I did not feel the quake at all as I was filming my spanish project at regional. We were walking on grass at that time, 3:40.
Was this the big one?? Who knows but scientists have predicted that we have to be on earthquake alert for the next 11 days as a aftershock 6.0 quake might rattle us.
