For Murray Houston, February 3, 1931 started out like any ordinary day. The now 91-year-old New Zealander was sitting inside the small wooden schoolhouse he attended in the coastal town of Napier, when the walls began to shake violently, sending textbooks flying and desks crashing to the floor. Only six years old at the time, Houston did the first thing that came to mind—he ran.“I remember all of us students running from the school like bees out of the hive,” he tells Smithsonian.com. “Children were hanging onto the fences. Otherwise they would have fallen over since the ground wouldn’t stop shaking.”The Hawke’s Bay earthquake only lasted two-and-a-half minutes, but it became infamous as the deadliest natural disaster in New Zealand, claiming at least 250 lives and measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale. All but a few of Napier’s buildings were completely destroyed by the earthquake and the fires that followed. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTxqMJkGKPq6opHzNAVOi9w?sub_confirmation=1 Create Your Free Website - on https://goo.gl/icUWWd Post Free Ads: https://goo.gl/3eRpAc https://goo.gl/iEb9lM https://goo.gl/VubkqA International Classifieds https://goo.gl/wZWWfc https://goo.gl/y3IEEJ https://goo.gl/OjQNJG
