The Earthquake

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. Some family members got together to celebrate for her by having dinner together.
While we were chatting and proposing a toast, my mobile rang. It was my mom's call. She asked me if I had felt the earthquake just now. I was suprised and said loudly, "What? An earthquake?" It was ten to eight at that moment. All the people were Everyone around me was shocked and stopped laughing when they heard "the earthquake". A moment later, they started to connect with log on to the internet to see the news through their own mobiles.
My mom said she was watching TV when she felt the sofa moved.
Our city is located in an earthquake zone. We were all afraid that a big earthquake would come. I remembered , there were seeing a large number of frogs appearing on the road several days ago. That was a strange thing. 

Soon, one of us found the news report and read it aloudly: "At 19:57 today, Beijing time,when 19 57 points today, the Guxian, Anzexian and Linfen city outskirts (lattitude 36.5 degrees north , longitude 112.1 degrees east ) experienced a 3.8 earthquake, with a  focal depth of 16 kilometres."  (Sorry, I had a very difficult time trying to understand if you meant three cities, or one city in a region. Border usually applies to regions and countries. I finally worked out was a point between the three cities? Part of the problem is that  Chinese city names are written as either one or two words in English... difficult to search...)

I said to all the them, "Don't worry, it's passed has finished. Even if another earthquake were coming soon, we would not die if we do in the right thing." So, we went on chatting and eating.  (were...would: Your speech indicated that you didn't expect a second earthquake, so I changed it to the proper conditional.)

Good work!
