When the earthquake happened, Timmy was working. At first, he felt a slight shake and then heard a loud noise like thunder. Soon the noise became louder, like bombs under the ground. People were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were raining down.
Finally the shaking ended. It was dark and silent all around. Timmy felt nervous because he was trapped. But he tried to calm down. He shouted for help, but no one came. So he kept quiet to save energy.
