Chrissy Teigen Was Caught In An Earthquake During Family Holiday
The model live tweeted her horror
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend found themselves in the midst of an earthquake this weekend during their family holiday in Bali.
At least 91 people were killed as a powerful earthquake hit the Indonesian island of Lombok and impacted neighbouring Bali, where at least one person died. There have been more than 130 aftershocks since the incident on Sunday morning.
Teigen was staying in Bali with her husband and two children and felt the tremors first-hand. She tweeted about what was happening from where she was staying.
“Oh my god. Bali trembling. So long,” she tweeted, adding in another: “Oh man. We are on stilts. It felt like a ride.”
She wrote: “I’m either still trembling or these little quakes won’t stop I’M TRYING TO BE NORMAL HERE”

The model later tweeted that she and her family were safe, “up high and nothing around us. Thinking about everyone around us and in Lombok especially.”
Earthquakes are common in Indonesia because it straddles the ‘Ring of Fire’, where tectonic plates collide causing volcanic eruptions and powerful tremors.
