Description:

Recalls going to a packed shelter when the sirens sounded and how a mine was dropped on the terrace next door killing several people. That the top of the street was on fire which meant that some people had to move out of their shelters.

It was 7 O'clock in the morning when the All Clear sounded, but she didn't go to bed but went to her auntie's to help her get some things after her house had been hit.
