Earthquake Hits Sydney
2nd, January 2019, Daily Telegraph
Reporter: Jordan Onley
A mega earthquake hit Sydney, but the question everybody's asking is: where did it come from?
As we should all know, Australia is on a tectonic plate which makes it impossible to have and earthquake, but on the 30th of December, 2018 the whole of Sydney shook. The earthquake was measured to be 11.3 on the Richter Scale which somewhat makes it the world's deadliest earthquake, now I wish i could say this turned out well but i can't. This earthquake wiped out more that 65 percent of the city.
Before the Earthquake
Jordan's story...
I was playing "Hide and Seek" with my son Nathan, suddenly my son screamed and I ran to him and checked whats up. He told me that trees where swaying and that building where falling, that's when I felt the violent shaking in the ground.
During the Earthquake
Me and my son hid in the basement locked in our safe room. The room was sound proof so we felt somewhat safer, I turned on the TV in there to see what was going on. Of course the signal was horrible but I was able to make out what the lady on the news said, "Total Apocalypse Warning: Sydney is experiencing an Earthquake. Please stay indoors and insure nothing can fall on you.
After the Shake
Into The Wasteland
Me and Nathan exited out of the Safe room after the earthquake, we went upstairs and looked outside. "Goodbye, Sydney" our neighbour said. Our house was destroyed, there was no way to a food source, I had money but no supermarkets would of been open. So I left the house to salvage food. Sydney was (and still is) in an unrepairable state, the iconic locations like the Sydney harbour bridge, Luna Park, and the Opera House are destroyed as well as homes, apartments, and roads.
