    I'm shocked that the earthquake had over 200 aftershocks. It is very sad how natural disasters happen like this.

    It might take Italy a while to recover from a devastation of this scale. I hope many neighboring countries help bring Italy back up from this. - Mila Fisher

    I've always wanted to go to Italy and it's so utterly terrible thing that it was hit by that natural disaster. It really makes you feel fortunate for what you have
