Central Italy has been hit with 2 serious earthquakes the last 2 days and it's sorta freaky because it's so close to Rome, but we have not had much more here than a little shake. My heart and prayers goes out to the people of central Italy, whoses homes and whole cities lay in absolute ruins now. So, so sad.
Sunday night/ monday morning quake- 6.3 on the rictor scale this one was about 70 miles away from Rome.
Todays quake-
