Yesterday, a devastating 6.2 earthquake occurred in Central Italy causing the deaths of at least 300 people. Shops, churches and medieval structures were flattened. A series of aftershocks also occurred in Umbria, LeMarche, and Lazio. The village of Amatrice has been flattened and completely destroyed. There has been a high level of aftershocks, and with electricity out, it has been difficult to contact emergency responders. Accumoli, and Pescara del Tronto are also all but destroyed. Forty three hundred people are searching for survivors underneath collapsed buildings.
