Those poor people -- this is probably still not the final toll.

Prayers for those still alive that they get rescued.

Too heartbreaking to read. No family up there. That’s pretty far north.

How horrific. Dont remember the last time Italy had a bad quake.

Strange because the New York Times had an article last weekend on the continuing weakening of The David in Florence. The article spoke about future earthquakes and three days later - here it is. I haven’t heard anything about the statue in these reports.

If King Putt the Fagnificent had been golfing in Italy when this happened, he’d simply play around the rubble and dead bodies
