When the second quake hit, I was sleeping. The lights were knocked out. We went to my grandpa's room. He's 101 and can only move slowly. We carried him outside to an open space. We had drinks, food and a radio, so it wasn't so bad. The aftershocks are scary. Some walls are down and we have no gas or water.
