Two medium-sized earthquakes shook Italy two days ago. There was serious damage but few injuries and no deaths. A better result than the catastrophic earthquake in Italy two months ago ...
The location of all the recent earthquakes is more than 50 miles from Florence in the mountains along the major fault that runs down the spine of Italy. (See map below.) So, we were not affected by the earthquakes this week. Thank goodness.
Of course, earthquakes in Italy are a frequent occurrence and they can strike anywhere. So, we will be as careful as we can be.
Fortunately, we live in fairly new construction. Our apartment is in a building constructed just over 500 years ago.
Many thanks to those of you who contacted us to make sure we are fine. We are.
We have donated money for earthquake relief to the Italian Red Cross (Crose Rossa Italiana).
Stay safe.
