Yesterday afternoon at 2:28 when I was in bed having a nap, I felt  my bed shaking. I thought it was my roomate pushing my bed. Then when I tried to ask him to stop it, he shouted: "Earthquake, run!"

Then I quickly get out of my bed, grabbed my pants and my roomates' T-shirt and run out of the dorm. On the way out to the open air, we noticed that some of the cement of the building had fallen off the wall.

After a short while, we thought it was over, then we get back in the dorm and fetched some stuff like money and my glasses and clothes thinking that we'd spend the whole night outside. It turned out we were right, the security blocked the entrance to the living buildings, we could only take turns to get inside to fetch some necessary stuff like beddings and clothes and something to eat.

Then there was the radio broadcast saying that the earthquake was in west sichuan province, which was about 92km away from Chengdu. And all those shakings and after effect were caused by that.

To keep ourselves safe, we all stayed outside in the open air for the whole night, during which we can still feel the small shakings of the earth. And by now the reported death was 8538, and still many people been buried under the desserted city.

The road leading to the destoryed city was blocked by those fallen huge stones and those resucerers are walking to the area to save the injured.

The city Dujiangyan (a scenery spot which was about 20km west of Chengdu) was badly destroyed. A middle school with 1800 students and teachers was collasped and by now only 20 something of them was pulled out of the ruins.
