One night, Laura and her family were sleeping in their home. Their dog Scruffy was asleep next to Laura. It was 4:36 a.m. and it was quiet. There were no cars passing in the street and no noise could be heard. It was like everything was still. Laura always put a cup of water on the bedside table, so that if she got thirsty during the night, she didn't have to walk all the way to the kitchen.
Suddenly, the furniture started shaking, and the cup of water fell to the floor. Scruffy started barking and it woke up Laura. She looked around and saw that everything was shaking. She screamed. Soon after, her father came in. He took her outside, and Laura's mother and brother were already there. Laura and her brother were crying. They didn't understand what was happening. It was an earthquake.
Luckily, Laura's mother had prepared an emergency box. She also took blankets to keep her children warm. Laura saw her dad take a flashlight from the box. He used the flashlight to see which parts of the house were damaged. Since the house was not safe, they stayed in a tent, provided by their neighbourhood, in the open space that night.
The next day, the children didn't go to school due to the earthquake, so they spent the day with their parents. Laura was so proud of her parents, because they knew what to do during this disaster. Thinking of this, Laura went up to her mother and father and hugged them tightly.
