Earthquake

“I was eating my breakfast when the room started rolling. I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming start across the street.” When the people were shook about the earthquake their responces towards it was crusial to their survival. Within the caos came hope that someone would be able to respond and save everybody. Twenty-one fire personnel, 12 police and five American Red Cross workers responded to the building collapse, with some arriving within four minutes of the quake, Vu said. Once the building collapsed the officials took action to protect the people.Three of the six people injured were hurt seriously enough to require hospitalization and were transported to Hayward General Hospital, according to Vu. She added the no other serious injuries have been reported in Hayward. never would there have been another acident again lol.The epicenter of the earthquake, which had a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale, was under the Hayward Hills, according to Penny Gertz, a scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. Gertz called the quake a “strong one”. The people in the area would have not been able to have taken the situation with a calm reaction within the emergency.
