  2. I think it would be really unsettling because you wouldn't know when the next aftershock would be or how bad it would be. I heard that some schools were so badly damaged that some students have to go to other schools until their schools are safe. I think that would be hard because you get use to your own school, friends and teachers. I also think it would be sad if someone you knew was hurt or lost their life.

  6. I would probably feel scared terrified and anxious. My reason for these are well scared- because you don't know if any of my friends or family are safe. Terrified-because you don't know when your out of danger or when the next aftershock is gonna be or whether more of your house is gonna tear down. Anxious-because I would wanna see if anyone else is hurt or trapped so that I could try and do something. It would also be very sad to seeing everyone's house and stuff getting destroyed knowing that they are going to be homeless for a while and also seeing their faces if a friend or family member is trapped or already gone.

  8. Scared more then anything but the amount of emotions that anyone would feel would be so overwhelming because there would be people running around everywhere stressed trying to find safety and their friends and family, anxious because you don't know wether there would be another earthquake or after shock.
    I feel sorry for all who got caught in this earthquake, I hope everything gets better soon and my condolences to all who have lost family and friends.
