90+ reported dead, 50.000 without homes

I sincerely hope our friend Scrapper is safe, as well as any other italian forum-members.
Stay safe!

Hi to you all,don't worry,I'm here, safe and unharmed.
Quakes happened this night in central Italy(I live in northern Italy and is distant from that zone)so when this tragedy happened,nothing was heard here.

I'm very worried for the situation,I've seen some images on Italian news on TV and already this morning first aiders feared a great number of casualties.Also BBC link confirms everything.....
It was shocking seeing house and big buildings collapsed and the deaths are terrible,let's hope that situation will begin soon to improve and,as first thing, that other quakes won't follow in these days.

At the moment,in that region there are 150 decesed people and 1500 wounded people :cry:

I really hope that Computron is safe and post very soon:I don't know if he's still in Italy but the region in which he lived(The campania)by news , hasn't suffered injured people at the moment.


Still a thing: thanks to you all for your worry about me in this moment, I have appreciate it a lot .

Yeah! Glad to see you are alright! And I assume your relatives and loved ones are doing well too, right? Those news weren't the best way to start a new day... Coming from a very seismic country, I understand what are you going through.

Now I hope Compy shows up quick...

Yes I did move to Italy. Scrapper is right about the region I live in. The Quake was in central Italy but along the same fault line we here are near/on. I am more or less in what is considered Southern Italy. The quake was a few hours North of Rome. It was felt in rome but as I am 2 1/2 - 3 hours south of Rome we are good here. We are all good here. Thanks for thinking about me though.

Great to hear that you're OK Computron. May whichever god we each believe in be kind with those who were hit. Thankfully, this didn't happen in the dead of winter, to bereave all those people of homes during the cold...
