It was the middle of the term holiday, my Mum and Dad had only recently just left and left me and my sister Alicia down in wellington with my aunty for a holiday. That night we all agreed to get pizza for dinner but we had to stop at Pak 'n' Save first. We came into Pak 'n' Save and did our shopping, it was just when we were going through the checkout it finally hit......
The clock struck to 5.09pm, me and Alicia were walking up and down the checkout when we heard my aunty ask us if we felt that. We both turned around puzzled but it wasn't until we heard smashing we turned around to look at the shelves and they were no longer straight they were swaying violently. All the items started jumping of shelves and smashing on the ground. Me and Alicia got down on the ground leaning against the checkout with our hands over our heads. The shaking stopped and everyone just left there trolleys and ran out.
My aunty was the most shaken up even though it was my first earthquake I seemed the most calm. We didn't even go home first because my aunty had to go get a drink from the pub!
