15 dead in Italy

Another earthquake hit Northern Italy around Modena again yesterday.
A priest died, but not Don Camillo and Peppone because they r immortal.
Would u like to live in such an endangered area or prefer to be in the air all the time with strangers and one whole row free?
No need to answer this question.

Rest in peace all victims of natural hazards.

My prayers for them RIP sad flower
Prayers for the survivors! And for the country as a whole!

I live in Southern California and we experience earthquakes every day. But they are so small we don't feel the vast majority of them. We are waiting for the "big one" according to seismologists and it should happen soon.

We have a mountain range here in Los Angeles county that runs east and west and not north and south. This phenomena is the earths structure that has to do with the thousands of faults here in Southern California. According to the experts this part of the American continent will some day separate and go it's merry way westward!
Thank u for ur comments. I cannot overview the damage as a whole but do think it is not that bad than people being dead, injured, crippled. U can vote and demonstrate and get help from the EU for the basic needs. There is money enough, if not it is printed.

About the geology which will tear America apart I am not too sure. I always thought the main fault (San Andreas) goes North-South and the Pacific Plate is pressing somehow to the North. Where r the know-it-all?professor
We ve had earthquakes at the same time, starting with the strongest one of 6 Richter, on 22th. Till today there are still many weaker ones, thank God, with no victims. I was very badly surprised that the earthquakes in Italy which were of the same strength were so damaging :((( As far as I got, it was because they lasted for very long (minutes)!
RIP!
I hope all alive people buried under the ruins will be saved ASAP and that there won't be more earthquakes sad flower
Guadal : Italy is situated in tectonic area, which seems to be more active again. Etna ...

RIP. sad flower

Neither earthquake stops me to visit bella Italia again and again.
Italy goes camping........in their car.
Guadal : they got tents. Cars are ruined also.

Those cars seem to be good for nothing....blues
Guadal : If some strong earthquake in Italy , so you get a bit also in Germany and this time it was in North Italy.
Yes i saw on the news! sad flower

I don't like earthquakes but i have felt like 4 big one's on my own skin i know how scary it is:(. Thanks God and my parent's nothing bad happen. I remember in 86' i was so little and the furniture start to move at 2 o'clock night time it woke me up the noises and i start scream my mom woke up fast and in her pijama took us me by the hand and my sister in her arms and she run with us through the door to the sters fast, then she went with us on the church. I was very little but i remember all i was cold and i was tierd crying that i want back home and i did not know what happen. My mother was scared too she was not telling me what happen why everything was moving.

But also i think when is written for you to die you will die no matter where you run or try to save yourself. JMO wave
I got nothing.....still alive I guess or something like that.sigh
RIP all...

I grew up in N. Calif. The San Andreas gets the press as it runs north/south, but by S. Calif in the Pacific...with east west branches bigger influnce on quakes there. There are several of these east/west and do as much damage. Just look at Northridge quake in early '80a. Italy also sits on fault lines...they are no fun, but when nature unleashes, the source doesn't matter...quakes, tidal waves, hurricanes...the list goes on...
