Rosa'd just been driving the wheelbarrow full of snow to the dungpile when the earthquake hit. With difficulty she managed to keep it straight, but one of the shovels fell out and hit her leg before she jumped backwards. The floor was still moving when her feet touched it again and she immediately was dragged to the floor. somehow she ended up on her bottom. She scrambled up and put the shovel back in the wheelbarrow. 'I'm all right' she said. she drove the wheelbarrow the last bit to the dungpile and put the remainder of the snow in it. Then she put the wheelbarrow and the shovels away and returned to sections 25-30 to get the broom she'd left there. A few pots'd fallen. She turned around to patrick. 'I think we have to clean this up first.' she said. The damage to the plants wasn't too big. The earth in the pots was hard and frozen and the roots of the fallen plants were still in lumps of earth.
She got some new pots from the front of the greenhouse and put the plants in it with some fresh, soft earth and some hard lumps of earth from the floor. It wasn't too bad to be in this section any more, it seemed as if it was warmer... Rosa jumped up and walked to the thermometer to check the temperature. 3 degrees centigrade... 'erm, professor?' she called out. 'I think the earthquake's damaged the thermostate!
