Dozens more were missing or feared dead from the magnitude-6.2 earthquake and a series of aftershocks that jolted Umbria, Lazio and Le Marche, three regions 80 to 100 miles northeast of Rome.


Anybody watching the news? Someone from Italy to comment? D:

Had some friends on vacations in Lazio - Got in touch with them like five hours ago and they're safe. According to what they've reported the whole Italy is a mess right now. News in Portugal are comparing the damage to a similar earthquake that happened in Lisbon some centuries ago; It's really sad to see that most of the structures are still not ready to face this kind of situations and how people's lifes can be thrown away like this.
