Heartquake

[reviews_and_ramblings]

heartquake in north Italy so strong that it awakens me and my home was all shaking for what seemed a long time. I'm fine, my mother is fine and the home is fine.

It was 111 km from where I live:



scary to see how near it was, but I hope that was not a inhabitated zone. Ferrara is quite an old city, hope they didn't have too much damages.

ETA: more or less all medieval towers and churches around there went down: Finale Ligure (tower), Levizzano (tower), Mirandola (cathedral), Poggio Renatico (tower). Some historical palaces. The more damage to people unfortunately are to those factory that were doing the night shift.

I am glad you are OK. Living in California this is one of my biggest fears.

Thank goodness you're okay; hope there were no serious injuries or worse anywhere in the area.

I thought of you when I read about the earthquake, I didn't realized it was that close. I am glad you and your mama are ok.

It looks like a lot of historic buildings went down, unfortunately. Even worse, there are dead and wounded too. Very scary. I am glad you are OK.

Cara Elisa,

I've heard just now about the earthquake.

Thank you for letting us know that you and your family (and your home: lots of houses damaged!) are all right.

Be well!

Ciao

Antonella

Il terremoto è uno di quegli eventi che ti fa sentire del tutto impotente. Sentito solo la scossa delle 4, ma è bastata per farmi saltare giù dal letto.
Per fortuna non è stato come a L'Aquila, anche se la magnitudo era simile

Oh wow! I'm glad you're okay. O_O

Happened in the New York area last year, took less then a minute but scary as hell. Good that you're okay ;)

Glad to hear that you and yours are okay.

Glad to hear you are safe.

The photos on the news show terrible destruction!
Last year we had a very small quake, the first I ever felt. It frightened us all. I cannot imagine one so much worse...the report said over 6.2 on the Richter scale. That is horrible.

Be safe, sweetie.

That's so sad! I'm glad you and your mom are fine.

Earthquakes can be so scary! Glad you're ok.

[innersmile.livejournal.com]

very sad news. but I'm glad you're ok

La cosa importante è che tu e tua madre state bene.

Good to know you and your mother are all right. Earthquakes are one of the scariest things on the planet. It's a shame about the ruined historic buildings, but far worse is the toll it's taken on the people who lost family, and their livelihood, with the destruction of the factory.

Take care and be prepared for aftershocks. Those too are scary but usually not as bad as the initial quake.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

we had already two aftershocks, one of them was more than 5 degree. One at 15.00 and one at 17.00 today. Hope the night will go smooth.

[m-barnette.livejournal.com]

I hope you got to sleep all right and didn't get knocked out of bed by any more of those aftershocks.

I think earthquakes are far more scary than hurricanes. With hurricanes you get a warning well in advance. With earthquakes you don't get any warning at all.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

night was good, and I hope today as well since now it's raining and we cannot really stay out the home.

[clmiles.livejournal.com]

That's scary! Glad to hear you and your family are fine!

[harbor4t.livejournal.com]

We had a 4 on the richter scale here two weeks ago and another 3 the week before that.
and these things always happen in the middle of the night. very scary.

Glad you're ok and hope it stays calm.

Thank you! Saw this on the weather news and wondered how you were!

[kika-k.livejournal.com]

Ho visto le news in tv oggi e c'è stato un'altro terremoto sia al nord che al sud! Cavolo!
Tutto bene?

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Noi si e anche la casa, ma l ospedale dove mia madre fa le terapie giornaliere e inagibile. Speriamo che sia l ultima scossa
