A Scary Experience I had

When I am thinking about this question, the first scary thing come into my mind is the earthquake happened on May 12th, last year in Wen Chuan , China. It was a terrible memory in my heart. Because the earthquake intensity is 7.8 magnitude, very strong, and Wen Chuan is next to our city,even our city have a strong aftershock. That afternoon, my mam and I was in my home, which is in 11th floor of the 16-floor high building. At that moment, we didn't know what happened out side, and we wanted to run away from home but the building shaked so badly that we couldn't even move a step. We didn't know what we should do except feeling very afraid. It stopped after 5 minutes, when we went out, there was a lot of people gathered in a huge square. Every one looked very fear and frightened. Finally, we knew that big sad news is Wen Chuan had a strong earthquake.
The earthquake lasted for several days ,and we spent our about one week to live in our cars at night. These days we heard the sad news every minute because a lot of houses destroyed and people were killed in Wen Chuan. Compare the people living in Wen Chuan, we were the lucky ones. In my view, that was real a scary experience, bless people.
