    One even rattled the ancient structures in Rome and they are expecting more. I didn't think that central Italy was prone to strong earthquakes since cities like Florence have been intact for more than 500 years. I guess I was wrong.

    The quakes were not that close to Naples with its 1 million population, but should Versuvius blow oh boy!

    Just another Vatican City conspiracy
    for control of all "the boot", then the world.

    The Curia Rules / Governs.
    The Pope is only "head of state".

    Yes, he does!
    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    I was thinking Moi, Washington is foolish to be jealous of Russia and how big it is, and to go after its wealth when they have Canada right above. Think of it, they don't have nuclear weapons to fight back, a border that's three thousand miles long and impossible to protect, I mean how much easier can it be.

    We all can march in with our guns and what are they going to do about it... call the Mounties? We'll even be able to turn to Russia and say :nana: we're bigger than you.

    Big,
    YES

    I remember watching the Academy Awards and witnessing the Blame Canada performance.
    And when they bring out the Rockettes in their Mountie uniforms at the end, Wow!
    they don't make Academy Awards programs like that anymore.

    Another earthquake hits Italy of 6.7 magnitude and completely destroyed the 13th century Basilica of Saint Benedict. What a pity!


    The ancient town of Norcia in central Italy is in ruins following the powerful earthquake which knocked its historical 13th century Basilica of St Benedict and other buildings to the ground.

    Sunday’s earthquake was the latest in a series of seismic events to strike central Italy, and comes just two months after another violent earthquake hit the same area of central and southern Italy, killing 300 people and destroying several towns.

    Feels like the Stone Age in Central Italy...
    :omg:
    'We've returned to the stone age': Quake levels Italian town
    Nov 1,`16 -- Some houses are collapsed outright, pancaked piles of stones and plaster. A pair of skis stick out. Some are cracked open neatly, exposing living rooms frozen in time.

    Explaining new jolts rattling earthquake-ravaged Italy
    Nov 1,`16 -- A wave of earthquakes has rocked central Italy in recent months, shattering medieval towns and destroying ancient homes, churches and landmarks. The latest - a magnitude 6.6 - over the weekend struck a cluster of historic mountain towns, the most powerful temblor to hit Italy in more than three decades. The new shaking comes as the region reeled from a deadly magnitude 6.2 quake in August that killed 300 people and a pair of strong quakes last week.[/]

    Are they fracking in Italy? Democrats say earthquakes are caused by fracking.
