earthquake (abruzzo)

3.32 am, I have just switched off my laptop, I am about to go to bed, when I sense a loss of balance, I look at the swinging lamp in my room, and it is actually swinging. I feel like I am going to fall from my chair, then everything stops. I become immediately aware of the fact that something terrible has happened not too far from my area. Earthquakes are terrible, you do not have anything to hold on to, you are left without anchors in the general and violent movement of the earth. What has happened in Abruzzo is a terrible tragedy...
