The quake occurred on August 15, 2007 at 6 and 45 o'clock.
The magnitude of the MHIS was 8.9 degrees and the epicenter was in pisco I was in my house in the tinguia doing my homework and watching television when the earthquake started and began moving earth. I was with my mom and younger brother. The land was still moving and increasingly grew louder. The walls of the houses began to move. My family and I went out to protect our security. The quake was so strong that cost us a lot of work and we had to walk the walls hold us to go outside. The quake lasted about two minutes. When the earthquake happened to leave our house, we saw many destroyed neighboring houses and falls. People were desperate and shouting for their relatives. People began to run and trucks drove at full speed to reach as quickly to see their relatives. That same night a group of people began to want to steal houses, people were very frightened and slept with fear that there may be aftershocks. The next day the view of the city of Ica was different, hundreds of homes damaged and destroyed, dirt and dust everywhere. After 3 day I get help from the government of Lima with water and food.
