This is not only a true story, but also is timed to mark the 97th Anniversary of the devastating earthquake which destroyed Avezzano on 13th January 1915, resulting in a massive loss of life. Have you ever been in an earthquake? I have, once, and it’s scary. Not a powerful earthquake, admittedly, and most California […]
