Ciao Readers!
Okay, at first we had no idea what was happening, but then we both realized – we just experienced an earthquake – ARG! The building basically shook (and not too much, everything/one’s fine), but I hate earthquakes – they scare me! Just now finding information online – looks like it was a 5.0 magnitude originating somewhere in Northern Italy. Never a boring time here, for sure!

/ January 25, 2013Glad all is well! We didn’t feel anything here in Milan (at least I didn’t!). I did feel a significant tremor last May when I was in a friend’s penthouse apartment. You are right–it is very scary!

/ January 25, 2013I remember – now THAT was scary! So surreal – it really makes you realize how little control we have over the universe!

/ January 25, 2013Glad you are OK. I am in London and was on the phone with my colleague in Italy (Genova) when she said “we are having an earthquake, everything’s shaking”… she is now used to it as it’s happened a few times before…. all the best!

/ January 26, 2013Fun, huh? And very weird timing! I had an app called Distaster Alerts which shows you globally all of the disasters. I had to delete it, too much information.
It’s a good time to make a plan.
