I live in Yogyakarta, one small province in Indonesia. It was at 2006, an earthquake was happened there. The earthquake destroyed buildings, schools, sport complex, houses, and killed peoples. I was in my home with my sister while my parents was not in Yogyakarta at that time. I remember, at Saturday 6 o'clock in the morning suddenly an earthquake came. I was very afraid and what I did was went out from my house. I saw the TV is shaking and I almost feel down. The earthquake was big and long. After a while, the earthquake was stop and some of my neighbor did not want to go inside the house, because it is dangerous. I did not know where's the earthquake came from, is it from mountain which is very near from my house, or from the ground. Then almost five hours there was no electricity and I can not call my parents. So, I and my sister just pretend in the house, because there was an issue that the tsunami will come after a while. At 8 o'clock I went to my school by riding my motorcycle. I was amazed because the road was so crowded because peoples want to safe their life to the mountain. I can not go to my school so that I turn back to my home. I cried and hugged by my sister. I was very afraid at that time.

I live in North Sumatra. In 2004, it was happen big earthquake in Aceh, the shake was happen untill my place. That was the biggest and longest earthquake that I ever fell in my life. It was at morning, I just wake up and go to bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Then the earthquake happen, so I went out and run foward to call my dad whom still sleeping and go outside. My mom has stand in front of house. I see that the phone or electric cable in front of house was waving and the water in drain was make a little wave. I feel very afraid and for a week I and my family stand by all the need in package. So when it happen a big earthquake again, we have already prepare everything must we take with us. It's a good experince to us, everytime this kind of natural disaster can happen to us. And you see that our country forest today is in danger condition, also add with current global warming or climate change. For example a week ago, I think you also hear that there are ice rain in Bandung. I really suprise because we are live in tropical place and it's very weird to see an ice fallen from sky. So, I must prepare for something bad in the future that cause from nature. Keep post happy myLotting...
