Witness location : Cento (Italy) (20 km S from epicenter)

Time : T0+ 480 min

Qui a Cento direi che è durato 20 secondi... nel quote della notte. Ero impietrito dalla paura, tutto tremava ma non in maniera esagerata... il rumore, quello si, non lo dimenticherò mai. Gli effetti direi che non sono proporzionati alla violenza e alla durata... danni in città nulli... comprese chiese e castello medioevale. Andando verso l'epicentro danni crolli in capannoni industriali.

Witness location : Ferrara (Italy) (28 km E from epicenter)

Time : T0+ 330 min

Ragazzi...è stato orribile. Mi sono svegliato appena è cominciato nella penombra della luce esterna. Dalla finestra vedevo l'edificio dondolare e anche il mio oscillava molto (e in più abito al secondo piano). Gli armadi erano letteralmente vivi e più passava il tempo più il rumore e l'oscillazione aumentava e sembrava non fermarsi mai. Credo sia durato almeno 20 secondi credo, anche se sono sembrati 20 minuti...appe

Credo sia durato almeno 20 secondi credo, anche se sono sembrati 20 minuti...terribile veramente. La peggior esperienza della mia vita fino ad ora...un'esperienza che non augurerei neanche al mio peggior nemico. È orribile sentire il letto che trema sotto di te e sapere che non puoi far niente se non pregare di non essere inghiottito dal pavimento. Oggi sarà un giorno diverso.

My family & I where on vacation in beautiful Firenze. When my niece & sister said this place is am convinced has spirits as old as it is. I said what do you mean? Reply was someone was shaking our bed & there was no one around. So they kept silent in hopes it would leave. Which it did. Only to learn later that morning at The Flowers Bar.
