earthquake in Umbria
Hi everyone,
since I live near by the epicentre of the earthquake that this morning at 7:41 am had waken us up, I'm really worried about what could happen next days! Four days ago, there were two shocks in the same place more or less and they were 5.9 and 4.5. Fortunately, there were no dead people because in those moments people weren't sleeping so they had time to escape...
We all were expecting aftershocks to be less intensive so we thought that there would were few possibilities for a higher earthquake ... This morning it was 7.1 ! Then tv news said that was 6.1 and another time they adjusted it to 6.5 ( I personally think they were trying to let the news be less alarming I bet )... Once again no dead... However, a seismologist said that we better expect shocks that can be around 6 and then less intensive ones or even a shock that could reach 7.5!!!
I do hope it won't happen... These days buildings collapsed: churches, some houses... Keep hoping there won't be also "collapsed" lives :((((

We all were expecting aftershocks to be less intensive so we thought that there would was little possibility of a stronger earthquake ... This morning it was 7.1 ! Then the tv news said that was 6.1 and later they adjusted it to 6.5 ( I personally think they were trying to let the news be less alarming )... Once again no fatalities.

I do hope it won't happen... Already buildings have collapsed: churches, some houses... I keep hoping there won't be also "collapsed" lives :((((
'no dead people ' is good English but maybe too blunt! 'Fatalities' means the same but sounds softer.

Yes, the government and the media must do this, so as not to produce confusion, I believe you know, they may be comforting people, the next earthquake will weaken, which is what I want, in short, pay attention to safety

I already had an experience with Tōhoku earthquake when I lived in Japan near by Tokyo, and I never felt so afraid.
I hope you are in a safe place and the tremors of the earthquake to stop.
