Yeah, I agree. Emilia-Romagna in one of the largest, strongest industrial engines of the country. People are yearning to go back to work (employers and employees), or they will be screwed (employers and employees).
And it just. Won't. Stop. Shaking. Hundreds of small quakes, light but noticeable. And today at dawn another shake, 4.5, enough to rock my bed. No one have been able to sleep well for weeks. It's exhausting. Also, the new epicentre is 50 miles km east of the first (and 70 miles east of the second), it seems like the whole region is becoming seismically active.
Just 20 miles from my house, there are thousands of people are still living in emergency tents, they don't know when they will be able to get back to their home (if they still have one). Ugly stuff.
