Central Italy Quake

What a terrible tragedy. They have my thoughts.

It is never easy :(

The toll is now 228 but the problem with quakes is that you do not really know for at least a week and the resque attempts have to be slow and careful.

All the best to our neighbours and may this never happen again.

But it will that's the thing about earthquakes. They always happen again.

Thats the unfortunate thing about living in Mountainous places, or along Tectonic Plates. Earthquakes are one of those things we never really think about until after they happen. I remember as a kid we used to do earthquake drills almost once a week, and then it stopped for some reason. But there is still a very good chance of Major Earthquakes happening here, since we're only a stones throw away from the Yellowstone Supervolcano, which averages between 1000-3000 Earthquakes of a Magnitude 1.0-4.0.

A pity, it is noone's fault. It is the will of nature. My condolences to the famillies, and my sympathy for the Italians.
