    Earth quake hits Italy Near Rome

    The magnitude 6.1 quake struck at 3:36 a.m. and was felt across a broad swath of central Italy, including the capital Rome where residents felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks. First images of damage showed debris in the street and some collapsed buildings in towns and villages that dot much of the Umbrian countryside.

    Looks terrible. Clearly the loss of life and the lives ruined are far more important but all those old buildings lost is also a great shame.
