Default Poo ! Earthquakes in Italy.

Just that really. We're not the only ones . Italy has had a fair few shakes of late.

This and now this

Maybe we could all leave our comfy NZ forum to offer some thoughts to those in Italy forum right now.

The N W coast of the US is overdue for a 7 to 9 seismic event. More or less if you live along the Pacific, nearly anywhere it's a matter of time. I'm sure it's true in many other geological regions as well. Tick Tick...

I guess that was directed at me, It came across differently than wanted. Spent many years in earthquake territory, so I understand. The tick tock refered to my area which is overdue for a HUGE quake. Sorry for my unintentional callousness.

God no, never thought of it that way.

I just wanted to say a general thanks to anybody thinking of us over here.

Tick Tock is so true isn't it though. The pacific rim of fire and , and as has been seen, anywhere else.

We can spare the time to share and care.

Having lived through what has happened here I have the utmost sympathy for anyone going through it. I never realised that an aftershock sequence even existed nevermind what it involved All you ever hear about is the big one or ones and not how constant it can be.
All the best to you Italians

My dad just rang to check on us after hearing the news on UK radio.

I just turned on the Italian news - at least 10 people confirmed dead so far. Fears for more trapped under a collapsed building.
Bloody awful.

All the best to you and take care. We were in Italy when it happened for a last minute holiday to my aunts apartment but we were in south. Some of my geographically confused friends texted me to ask if i was near it.

It's so scary and theres nothing you can do about it so sad to hear about the deaths
