1. Earthquake in Italy

    ROME — A powerful earthquake toppled homes, churches and shops in a wide swath of medieval towns in central Italy Wednesday, killing at least 150 people and injuring hundreds of others, according to Italy's civil protection agency.
    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:

  2. 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.
