Kia ora last Friday there was an earthquake off NZ.  I got alert on my I phone. My mum said we have to  go and evacuate, but our car broke down. So me and my family went to the office at the camp ground. The  kind manager  gave us their car. We went up the hill  and there was a police check point.They were making sure that people were doing the right thing. Then they let us go. and we got to the top of the  hill .We waited and waited for two hours, then lady took us in her house . We had scones and fruit. Her house was up really  high on the hill. After couple of hours we got another alert to say we could go home. So we went to the car and drove back to the camp ground. The alerts were really loud and I was really scared at first because I could see the waves. If we have another Tsunami I would know what to do.
