Question

An earthquake hit a small seaside town a short while ago. Report what some of the people who experienced the event said.

Answer

  1. Lyn said that she would never forget the terrible sound just before the earthquake (had) hit. She had never heard anything like that in her life.
  2. Ben said he felt lucky that he was safe. The house next to his had collapsed and the rescue teams were still looking for injured people under the rubble.
  3. Sam said some people were afraid that a tsunami would follow, but he didn't think it would. There had been much stronger quakes than that in the town and they had never had a tsunami.
  4. Ian and Ann said that they were OK, but their young son had not got over the shock at that time. They were still trying to calm him down.
