*hugs back*

I'm glad you're all okay, except for the poor trees :(

Okay, here is a map of the seismic activity in Italy. The warmer the colours are, the higher the seismic activity is, so red means "many earthquakes" and licght green means "no earthquakes at all". I modified the original image to show you where I live, which is a totally red zone :P so it's not uncommon for us to have a little earthquake from time to time. Fortunately the last strong earthquake was in the 1980s here too and all the ones that I remember were just little ones and made no damages.
But earthquakes scare me terribly. I remember last year - or was it 2 years ago? - we had pretty strong shake in the middle of the night. I could feel the bed moving and the windows shaking, but fortunately no damages. I was so terrified that I didn't sleep for the rest of the night,so the next day I went to university with two livid bags under the eyes and I looked like a raccoon XD
No volcanoes near here - thank God, that's the last thing we need XD But thanks for the offer, I'll talk about it with the rest of the family here :P
