Residents on 'Edge' Facing 2.5K Earthquakes as Italian Supervolcano Rumbles: 'It's Nonstop'

[1LoverofGod]

Italy’s government has been preparing for a possible mass evacuation of tens of thousands of residents due to a supervolcano that has caused 2,500 earthquakes since September, several media outlets reported.

Residents in the city of Pozzuoli, which is outside of Naples, are concerned about the recent activity since they live in the volcanic area of Campi Flegrei. As reported by Reuters, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake occurred on Sept. 27 that, while it didn’t cause any major structural damage, provided the biggest tremor in the area in over four decades.

That's a lot of quakes!

In Alaska, which is quite earthquate prone, there was one year when we got thousands of quakes. They were small, no big deal but it was interesting, none-the-less. Definitely one of the signs of the times we live in.

I have family in Naples. They get a lot of small earthquakes there.

While attached to NATO southern command in Naples, I tried twice to drive to Sorento. Traffic was so horrific both times that I never made it out of Naples before turning back. I took the train to Sorento a couple of times. I really liked that little town. It was real pleasant in the evening when they'd pipe soothing music in the business district. I enjoyed looking at all of the inlaid jewelry boxes that they made there. bought a couple for the wife and daughter... later had another daughter who never got one...

We seem to have earthquakes here in SC also. Most are small and hardly felt but we did have one a while back that was quite noticeable! I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when I heard a huge bang and the entire house shook. I ran out into the living room, with a mouth full of toothpaste, thinking maybe a car had hit the house. Naturally when I asked my husband "WHAT WAS THAT??" he just shrugged and said "an earthquake I guess". lolol
