An earthquake hit Lorca today. Well, two.
So far here in Alicante we haven't felt anything yet, but towns nearby have. The shaking was noted in the nearby towns Elche & Villena... both within an hour from Alicante.

Unfortunately the current death count is at 10. Please read the article as you will find there was an earthquake predicted to be in Rome... 96 years ago.

Our lunch conversation was about recent events...
