[quote:HicManebimusOptime:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU4NDQ3MjQ5X0Y0MjM5NEVC] [quote:-Haun-:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU4NDQ3MTUzX0ZBQkYyRUQ=] [quote:HicManebimusOptime:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU4NDQ2OTc0XzE1NTYzMzEx] [quote:-Haun-:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzU4NDQ2ODUxXzU2QzhDRjJC] The Italian EQs are just north of Vesuvio and Salfatara. Called a friend of mine in Pozzuoli who said both volcanos are swarming with geologists to note any changes in the lava domes. Perugia is loaded with 300 year old buildings made of tufa stone. The devastation is going to be incredible. Please open your hearts and pray for these people or send good thoughts, whichever your inclination. They are going to need so much help and love. Thanks to those who already have done so. This is heartbreaking. [/quote] yeah "just" north if you by "just" mean 300 km away. https://www.google.it/maps/dir/Amatrice,+RI/Pozzuoli,+NA/@41.7376198,12.3448504,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x132e3b8be7904741:0x643d22a9734ca1a5!2m2!1d13.2924791!2d42.6280156!1m5!1m1!1s0x133b0e3962028111:0x530218da7ef5bd80!2m2!1d14.0932861!2d40.8459469 Perugia has nothing to do with this quake, it's several kilometers north. The quake hit an area between 3 regions, the biggest city nearby is Rieti. The Vesuvio will wake up and erupt one day, this is certain, but it will NOT do it because of this quake, just like it hasn't in the past. This is a completely different fault. [/quote] That entire region is referred to as Perugia in Southern Italy which is where I lived. All of the faults in Italy are connected. You should know this. They are also all very close because of how the landscape of Italy is constructed and its topographical features. You also know Vesuvio and Salfatara are monitored and increased efforts are being made right now, at this time, to watch the lava domes not only visually but through instrumentation. Salfatara itself has street level vents in Naples and Pozzuoli which are easily accessed. If you've ever driven or walked into Naples from the south you would also know this. 300 klics in eruption zones are nothing especially in a zone like Italy again because of its topographical nature. I'm very glad they have increased their awareness of what is happening now, and hopefully nothing will come of it. Keep them in your prayers. [/quote] Perugia is a city, the capital of the region of UMBRIA. So Perugia is not a region and it's not in southern italy, but in central italy. Perugia has not suffered any damage, nor have many villages and town whose buildings have been upgrated to the new anti-seismic standards after the latest quakes during the last years of the 20th century. The majority of the casualties lived in very old medieval villages and in very old houses that could not withstand such a quake. If a simple quake could set off the Vesuvio this quake, the 6.9 that struck Irpinia in 1980 (very near to Naples -which suffered damages itself), would have definitely done it but it hasn't. The last eruption of Vesuvio happened in 1944. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Irpinia_earthquake Of course the Vesuvio and Campi Flegrei (including the Solfatara) are monitored 24/7 because 3 milions people are living in that area and there aren't any serious organized plan to evacuate Naples and the surrounding urban area. Their only chance to survive is to evacuate as soon as there is any concrete evidence of an incoming eruption. [/quote]
Original Message
I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..
but, the continuation of EQ is an important thing because it's connected to so many things..
Thank you!!! Simple... I will be here.....

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
