Shirakawa, are you feeling any of the aftershocks? Are you getting more news of damage in the area? I guess it's around 6:30 AM there now and maybe people are just starting to get a look at things to assess any damage that might have occurred. We aren't getting many details here yet.

I haven't felt any as I'm south of Rome near the sea (about 120 Km from the actual event location), but chances are that I haven't because I was at the computer writing, etc. Anyway, I probably wouldn't have felt the first big one if I was sleeping instead of lying on the bed half-awake.

What I find interesting is that I was actually sleeping, but I woke up just two minutes before the first earthquake. It could be a concidence though.

About damage in the area, yes, there are many bad news of victims. Many wounded, some deaths (including children) and collapsed buildings.
Here are a few images:

Ravenna is more distant from the EQ than Rome, but I hear that is was felt in Naples too (of course not in destructive intensity).
All the damage occurred mainly in L'Aquila province, and probably parts of Teramo province too.
The problem is that that zone around the epicenter has many small mountain towns with old buildings which were not made to withstand strong earthquakes, let alone one this big.

Here's a video from RaiNews24:

I've seen, first hand, a person who could sense an earthquake right before it happened so I doubt if it was a concidence that you woke up... Interesting.. very reasonable since many animals have the same capability and must sense some vibrational noise one way or another. Glad you are well sound man - my sympathy to such a lovely country..
