Eddington - Jessica Frick is safe and sound inside her Eddington home tonight, but just last week she was scared for her life, running for safety, during the massive earthquake in Haiti.

"There were people in the road, they were bloodied. There were kids, they were all crying. Parents were crying for their children, and everyone still left in the houses. It was just really, really traumatic," remembers Jessica Frick, 21, a Colby College student.

Frick made the trip to Haiti with her Colby College roommate, they were in a car when the ground began to shake. At first, they just thought they had hit a pot hole.

"It kept going and I saw a building coming down, and my first thought was that someone was demolishing a building, but I saw other buildings coming down and people running in the streets," Frick said.

They got out of the car and started running through the dust with everyone else. They had to sleep in a parking lot with about 100 others, and Frick says that first night, she was confident because she felt the worst was over, but that confidence turned into fear.

"That second night when things still hadn't really stopped and there were still aftershocks, I was feeling a bit more panicked," said Frick.

She couldn't contact her family here in maine because cell phone towers were down. Her mom and dad didn't hear she was safe until two days after the disaster, but her brother Kyle says, it was the best news they ever received.

"We played some music and started calling everyone we know telling them that Jessie is alright and that she should be home within the week. We were just extremely relieved that she was safe," said Kyle Frick, 18, a student at John Bapst.

Frick is now home, safe, and trying to move on from the fear. She feels terrible that a major aftershock has hit the country, but wants the residents there to stay strong.

"I hope that they have hope because I think that it will get better if the earthquakes stop, and they're getting the help that they needed all along," said Jessica Frick.

Frick says she is glad to help out any way she can. She and her roommmate are hoping to start a fundraiser when they return to Colby College next month.
