 Did everyone posting from northern Italy feel this morning's earthquake?
Yes, a bit of window-shaking at 11,30, Turin, 7th floor, but not enough 
time to really get scared. And you?

Ciao,

Yes, I felt it on the ground floor here in the Biellese. The monitor
started wobbling, and my chair shook, but as I'm suffering from flu I
wasn't sure if it was just me.
I heard from a friend in Milan who lives on the 5th floor that she was
terrified; when the walls started undulating she left the building.
Apparently the schools were evacuated there.

I was at home, near Verona, and I felt nothing.

Apparently it was just in the north-west, epicentre in the Alessandria
area.

area. 
Yeah, I'm reading about it. I remember years ago an earthquake with
its epicenter in Friuli and I felt that one. But I guess that it was
stronger than this one and more close.

"More close"? Sorry, I sometimes have the schoolboy syndrome.
Bye, FB

 Did everyone posting from northern Italy feel this morning's earthquake?
Yes I did. Initially I thoughi it was me, but then I realised it was
actually a earthquakette...
No panic though, my only thought was: If I die in this place, I'll die
depressed!

I don't know why I wrote "more close" instead of "closer". Is "more
close" wrong or only less used?

>Did everyone posting from northern Italy feel this morning's earthquake?
Nope, I live in Brescia and I didn't feel a thing....

I believe it's wrong, hon...

It's incorrect, but it's certainly better than "more closer".  How strong was
the earthquake?

the earthquake?
I'm glad I wrote "more close" and not "more closer" then. :)
I don't know about the eartquake, but you can read about it here:

Yes, I was at university in Vercelli and felt shaking while I was at the
computer. They made us leave and closed the university. I felt a bit
strange. P.

 depressed!
Goodness, wherever were you?

Beh, non lo sapete tutti che i terremoti piu` fighi del mondo sono in
California??!!
Ma guarda tu questa impunita di Brit che osa chiamare terremoto una
scorreggina della terra! :))))
Aria`, ma sei seria? :))

I can't believe you experienced the Friuli one...a thousand people died in
1976, it was really dreadful. Hope it'll never happen again.

 Oh gee!!!  And you call that an earthquake?
4.6, not 2.6. I don't think 2.6 would be perceptible.
In fact there wasn't a lot of damage and only 2 people injured, but this
isn't really an earthquake area, so people on the upper floors of
buildings in places like Milan were understandably scared when they saw
the walls undulating.
There's also been a lot of paranoia about earthquakes since 100 children
were killed last year when the roof of a primary school collapsed during
a quake, so a lot of schools were evacuated.

Cosi' dice l'articolo dell'ansa che mi ha mandato Sebastiano.

Io si'.  E tu?

No, if you read it again, you'll see that the main tremor was 4.6, and
the aftershock (which we didn't notice at all) was 2.6.

No, ti sfottevo. :)

No! Not that one. I wasn't born in 1976.

 bureaucrats
This is really funny, I wrote it like that but before sending the msg I
thought I'd check it out. Mr. Picchi spells it 'burocrats' (although it does
have 'bureaucracy'), hence I changed it.
So, have we got two spellings here or am I missing something?

Maybe there are 2 spellings.  When I spell checked the whole 
message, it didn't complain about burocrats.  It wasn't 
until I chopped my reply down to just that word that the 
spell checker decided it was wrong and offered bureaucrat. 
But when I checked this reply, it stopped on burocrats right 
away.  An adaptive spell checker?
(Spell checker.. there's a good one.  A spell checker in 
Haiti might be someone who evaluates how you're doing with 
your hexes ;-)
