’We could hear screaming and crying:’ B.C. tourists describe Morocco earthquake

Canadians who are in Morocco say an earthquake that’s killed more than 2,000 people and injured hundreds more in the North African country is “absolutely incredible” and “terrifying.”

They weren’t sure they were going to make it.

“During the rumbling, we were hiding under a doorway clutching each other. We were terrified, the house was shaking so hard, it was like the floors were moving,” Richards said in a phone interview on Saturday.

“There were waves in the pool. We thought for sure the walls were coming down. We did not expect to get out of this without damage.”
