I so exited to finally go on a camping trip by myself with no campervan. Ever since I younger I always wanted to go San Francisco and now I finally get to.

As I got out of the Range Rover, I got all my bags and decided to walk to the woods. The reason I was there is because I was a sizemologist doing research.

I finally got to the forest and unpacked my billion bags. Then I set up my work desk and a few other things. When I was setting my tent up I felt a massive jiggle.

I dropped everything I was doing and ran to my computer which was on my work desk. I phoned my boss and shouted “Boss!” “ there’s an 3.3 earthquake in SAN Francisco”. “ uh oh”. I yelled.

“It just jumped up to 7.3” I screamed. I ran out of the forestry and kneeled down and covered my head. Luckily I brought my phone with me.

I got my cracked phone and called my colleague. It just went up to a 9.5. It’s of the rictaa scale. This problem was way worse than I first thought.
