New Zealand hit by aftershocks after severe earthquake

Summery

On Monday 14^th November 2016 there was an earthquake that killed two people in New Zealand.  It happened at night night, which is a good thing because a lot of people were in their houses.  The magnitude was 7.8 and the epicentre was northeast of Christchurch, near the town of Kaikoura which has been cut off by landslides.

Opinion

This country is on fault on the tectonic plate, for this is normal they experience earthquakes. I think the country must be prepared for this occurence because it isn’t the first earthquake. But it is true it is difficult to predict the magnitude of an earthquake and how much destruction can be caused. A good thing is that just two people.
