Hiding safely in my earthquake proof box.Most of you woke up today with the news reports about the two earthquakes that hit Italy during our night. The first hit near the city of Ravenna, which is only 20 minutes away from where we live. It was a 4.6! Because it was so deep in the earth, people felt the shaking as far as the next region! Did my humans notice the house shaking? Of course not! They were fast asleep with the TV on and hear (and felt) NOTHING! Good thing I was on watch to alert them had things gotten worse. Fortunately no one was hurt in the first earthquake.
The second earthquake was farther south in Abruzzo. That one was a 5.8! Many people have lost their lives and many more are without homes. Our government has called it a state of emergency! We all wish there was something we could to do help. But the most we can do at this point is to keep all of those people and their pets in our thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to all that have lost their homes and worse than that their lives. Pray that their families will get through this most difficult time and no more quakes will follow.
