==One Saturday evening in California around 4:00 pm, I felt like taking a nap because I was so tired from my lacrosse game. I had a dream where I went into a coffee shop. I got a cup of coffee and and sat down. I chilled for bit, but then I saw my coffee cup shaking. Then my chair started shaking even more! In my dream, as i fell down from the shaking, I was awakened from my nap. When I Iooked out the window, there was a huge plateau in my view and a hanging wall was sliding down the footwall. I also saw tension happening on the ground because the ground was getting skinnier and skinnier in the middle and it was tearing apart. That was a normal fault. Then I thought about it, and an earthquake was happening! I started heading down my basement with a flashlight and a first aid kit. The power went out and i was frightened. I checked my mercalli scale that i got from science class and saw it was a 6.2 earthquake. I also had a seismograph with me and its saying that p waves are gonna hit our house. The shaking stopped for a few seconds and then an aftershock hit me. I ran down the basement with a flashlight because it's the safest thing to do right now in this situation. When i hided there, the p waves just hit our house. The power came back for only 6 minutes. I right away turned on the T.V to watch the news and it said that about 2000 people still don't have power. Thank god we god power. Then I hear a strange noise on the top floor. It was a tsunami ! Ahhh!!! the water ruined my house, and I got flown away by the tsunami. I grabbed on to a tree that was sinking and liquefaction was happening. The tsunami finally stopped, but it was hard to walk because the whole city was over flooded. I went to my neighbors because they were the only ones that got back their power. I was crying because many people died and my parents die, my brother's arm were injured and my hometown is destroyed. We were heading to the base-isolated building, but it was ruined when we saw it. Then we tried to get away from the epicenter because it was little close to our house. As soon as we got there, we see all our friends, and other people. Everyone was crying and sad, and many people got hurt. The earthquake was finally over, everything finally stopped, but everything was ruined. Buildings had collapsed, streets were damaged, and the land was flooded. What to do now.==
