the 6,2 earthquake in Italy....I have kept track of places my mother live that have experienced catastrophic weather events-her family was from the Italian area (Arno was her maiden name-my grandmother, her mother was full Maltese), then my mother grew up in Liverpool England  (which had abrupt catastrophic flooding earlier this Spring/Summer) and she lived for 30 years in Corpus Christi Texas USA which had catastrophic flooding on the highway area downtown (the last two have pics in my blog somewhere already posted). That is one woman...blessing to Italy and all the beautiful people there who look like my mom and the recovery and well being of it s people in central Italy...I have been traveling around a bit-pardon the breaks in the blog at times...
