Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 01:34 on 26th April 2008 83 shakes today, still too far away to effect our town but still unnerving and definitely ominous. |
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 00:11 on 22nd February 2013 We had a real shaker this afternoon. It felt like an explosion had rocked the house. I looked it up on the web, and found out that we had a smaller quake on Monday, during the night as well. This was WAY too close for comfort. |

Last year, in May, there were a strong earthquakes (6.1, 5.6, 5.4, 5.1 Richter in two weeks) in Emilia, very close to where I live. I slept in my car for five nights because there was always shakes and the historical buildings in my town were seriously damaged. Nowadays there are a very little shakes again but fortunately are very weak. |

Emanuele Ghisi Posts: 45 Joined: 21st Feb 2013 Location: Italy | quotePosted at 22:09 on 24th February 2013 Yes, it was very frightening because the main shake was during the night and the days after were terrible. The following tremors caused crashes in a several churches and some ancient castles. Many buildings are still damaged, but people want to rebuild as soon as possible. Each earthquake is frightening whatever its power. For this reason I'm close to everyone who live this terrible experience. |
