A 5.9 magnitude earthquake has been recorded this morning at 3.32 hrs in L'Aquila and its province. Early estimates foresee over 15000 buildings been damaged in L'Aquila and other villages nearby. So far 20 victims were counted by the fire brigade, the police and all public bodies. I live in Spoltore, a few kilometers from Pescara, and was woken up by a very strong shockwave which shaked my house and made all hung appliances to swing. The A24 and the A25 and other main communication roads have been closed. Check the news before travelling to of from Abruzzo.
The towns affected are L'Aquila, Paganica, Castelnuovo, Poggio Picenze, Tornimparte, Fossa, Totani and some others.
