13．We live about four or five miles from the centre of Padang．Our house was built around 1975．Older houses like this are much stronger and the amount of damage where we are is minimal．It′s the newer buildings in town that have had the biggest damage．
I was in bed when the earthquake started．I just ran out of the house like everyone did．It didn′t last long，about 30 seconds of very intense shaking．I could see the buildings moving and cracks developing in the road．The experience was too intense to really think about．What is more terrifying is waiting for the aftershock （余震）．
My wife was with me but my daughter was about three streets away with her aunt．As soon as the shaking stopped I ran to find her．
Many people left immediately for villages on higher ground because they were worried about a possible tsunami （海啸）．About half of those who were left，including my family，spent the night in a mosque （清真寺）．
The house is OK，although we have no water or electricity．The electricity went off immediately and I dont expect it will be back on for some time．In the past it took a week or so to come back on．We also have no water now．We have been collecting rain water and bathing in the river．
We have also managed to get hold of a petrol generator so we have some power．The rain has stopped now，but it has rained almost continuously all night．We managed to get 24cartons of drinking water from our local street seller．
Some of the local shops and markets opened this morning．People were queuing up and we have enough food for a week-noodles and things like that．If we can′t get more after a week I think we will think about moving to another city，but I don′t know where．
