Fran, are you and your young man alright, I just saw the news.

Fran, are you and your young man alright, I just saw the news.

Thanks Bill.
We're good here. Also my daughter's family is near me.
I live further North and West (in Lucca) of the town of Amatrice.
It's a mess down there. The town is gone. 73 dead so far.
Other towns also affected.
At least 2,000 without homes.
When it's this close, you feel it more.
Pray.

I am praying since the first report I saw at 5:30am.

Wondering,

I'm pleased indeed to hear of your safety and that of your daughter's family. I pray that this will be a time for Italy to reflect on its true spiritual need before God.

All earthquakes should be a sudden wake-up call to God's ability to shake a region.

Blessings,
Oz

Amen Oz.
You know the situation here.
It might just take an earthquake, sadly.
Thanks for your kind words.

120 dead so far.
Children under the rubble.
Supermarkets all gone but food is getting in and being distributed.
Whole town demolished.
We can't even know what it must feel like...

Blessings,

Wondering,

We have received reasonably good coverage of the devastation of the quake in Amatrice and surrounding areas in central Italy.

This morning's story in the Brisbane Times comes with some graphic images and film of the quake, Italy earthquake: scenes of tragedy, survival as nation struggles with disaster. Last night's Channel 7 news here in Brisbane showed similar horror.

I remember how I felt when the Twin Towers fell.
I can't even imagine seeing my whole town in rubble. Nothing left where my house once stood...

Evil affects nature too.

[Angel]

What happened?

 

[OzSpen]

What happened?

Please read the link I provided at #6.

 

[GodsGrace]

What happened?

Oz's link at no. 6 is very good. Watch the video too.

The death toll, however, as of now is at 120.
At least 3 towns have been devastated and will never be rebuilt if all goes as in the past.

Bye Angel

Fran,

It would be horrific. As I've considered the number of earthquakes worldwide in the last 12 months or so, I've asked myself: How much of this is related to what Jesus said would happen in Matt 24: 3-10 (NLT),

3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”

4 Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers." 10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.

Christchurch, New Zealand (across the Tasman Sea from where I live) has seen similar devastation in 2011 and in early this year.

May the Lord keep you safe.

Oz

Christchurch is still trying to rebuild many years after the quake, I was there last year and its still a mess, yet our globalist banker PM thought it would be a great idea to have a flag refurendum and spend multi millions of dollars all the flag to stay the flag. Bit then again I forgot he needed that distraction right at the time he was signing the TPP behind closed doors in the casino.

Hi kiwidan
You're from New Zealand?
Beautiful place. Never been there.

I guess governments are the same all over the world.
Get the power
Forget the people.

I'm sorry to hear it.

I'm sure these towns are not getting rebuilt. The mayor of Amatrice was interviewed on the news last night - he's totally depressed and without hope.

A little 7 year old girl was pulled out of the rubble after 17 hours of digging. People cheered. Life is precious.

The last thing government cares about is cleaning up office and cleaning up the streets and there own communitys and backyard. There all globalist puppets who work the super elite and there own demon inspired selfish agenda.

The Most High and Christ have handed the world to its own for a time. As I see it, The Most High God will raise Tyrant once again just like he did the Pharoah. This time is not the hebrews its the entire world. One last time to come to senses and repent.

Sure does seem to be this way.
Earthquakes, etc. are on the rise everywhere.
Most deny God or don't even believe He exists.
Governments have forgotten that they are FOR THE PEOPLE.

Fran,

I hope that Amatrice doesn't rebuild on the same earthquake prone zone. What gets me about city planners is that they rebuild cities in the zone.

Australia's worst earthquake hit Newcastle NSW in 1989, killing 13 people and decimating the place. See: HERE. But they rebuild on the same spot. To my knowledge this is happening in Christchurch NZ as well after 2 earthquakes, 2011 and 2016. The 2011 Christchurch quake killed 185 people.

Maybe I'm from another planet, but it doesn't make sense to me to rebuild on the very place where the earthquake hit.

Amatrice and surroundings have experienced much more death and devastation than Australia has known from earthquakes.

Blessings,
Oz

People here are very emotionally tied to where they live and are apt not to want to move unless absolutely necessary - not even for work opportunities most of the time.

I doubt the towns will be rebuilt. Seems that there's plenty of money to house migrants but not Italians. There will be much to be said about this in the days to come. Migrants get hotel rooms and empty houses; the popluation down there is in tents and we'll see how that goes.

IF (a big if) they are rebuilt, it'll probably be in the same place. Most of Italy is earthquake prone so, really, I don't think moving the town would make any difference.

I checked out your link and building codes are in question here too. The school in Amatrice, which was supposed to be earthquake proof, is disintegrated. If kids had been in school it would have been a great tragedy.
There are tens of thousands of schools throughout Italy that were supposed to be made quake-proof from the year 1999. Not done yet. And anyway, seems like it wouldn't make much difference anyway based on what happened here. The hospital is also gone - another public building.

Seems humans are incapable of learning from past experience...

Wondering,

I agree with and understand the emotional ties people have to cities and towns - and employment. Quake-proof schools that do not meet the standard sounds like some standard has gone astray. Or, is that it is impossible to build earthquake proof buildings of any sort?

I think we need to get into discussion of who sends the quakes. Are they human phenomena or do they have God's action involved? I'm convinced of the latter. Why does he send them to certain places when the rest of the country is left untouched? That's called his sovereignty.

We have similar issues after floods. Cities are built along river banks for commercial access and when the floods devastate these low-lying regions, the houses are rebuilt on the same spots.

The Washington Post has this article, Deadly earthquake rocks central Italy; dozens dead, hundreds missing. I think it asks more questions than it answers.

Oh for a change of human nature (for me as well)!
