Here's a link from yesterdays story about Italy's Messina Earthquake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908_Messina_earthquake AND don't believe I mentioned the distance to Mt. Vesuvius although probably not critical today is about 150 or 175 Miles North of Mt. Etna and having just checked I want to add right now it looks like they're still getting shaking there, although there's no mention of it at USGS. . . could be due to them being off work for that Government Shutdown! Not that important of information anyways, just was wondering basically.
