M: What happened at your farm when the earthquake passed?
W: Oh, it was terrible, I’ll never forget it to my dying day. I hope I never see anything like that again. It was terrible.
M: But that’s incredible, Mrs. Skinner. Did you say that everything in front of your house had moved?
W: Yes, everything had moved into the place of the other!
M: But your front path had completely disappeared?
W: Yes, that’s right. Oh it was terrible, terrible.
M: And your husband Jack? Was he all right?
W: Yes, but the cowshed had moved too, it had moved several metres. Jack was all right, I could see him running round after the cows, all the cows had escaped, you see. They were running all over the place, it was impossible to catch them.
M: So Jack, your husband, was all right.
W: Well he was a bit shocked like me, but he was all right. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the granary that had moved south too. Its normal place was behind the house and now it was near the cowshed. Can you believe it?
M: Incredible, Mrs. Skinner. And the house itself, what about your house?
W: Well then we saw what had happened. Everything had moved one way, that is, to the south, except the house. The house, can you believe it, had moved the other way—the house had moved north. So the house went one way and everything else—the garden, the trees, the granary—went the other way.
M: Incredible, Mrs. Skinner, absolutely incredible.
