An earthquake hits L'Aquila

It looks pretty ugly and there are several dozen dead people... I've been there (or nearby) several times as it is the closest city to Il Gran Sasso so I'm a bit sad right now. 

I'm also a bit angry as the amount of deaths probably is related to the quality of italian building codes (and its implementation)   Although I will have to wait before I start complaining. Kobe earthquake was 7.3 that is 10 times bigger than this earthquake (this was 6.3) and over 6000 people died, so maybe the buildings behaved properly.

Let my prays go with them
