The Devastating Italian Earthquake. My Wife Has Family, Relatives and Friends and A Residence There
My wife Maria and her ancenstral family have had a residence in central italy since the late 1800's. Maria and I are continuing to monitor the news coverage on a live basis via the international tv station of Italy.
I have established a link to monitor the new stories on RAI as well as other select news feeds.
Anyone who is interested can watch the live TV and stored webcasts at the following link to RAI TV and Radio that I established for my family.

Some of Maria's mother's friends were sleeping in when the rumbling woke them up. They rushed out to their car and started to drive away. As they looked out the back window of the car they could see their house collapse.
Maria was also telling me that many of the centuries old churches, homes and castles have extensive damage.
Maria's mother was telling me that prayers of support are sincerely appreciated for the victims and those still missing. Personally, I am going to donate proceeds to disaster relief for Italy for an button that I created with an expression of prayer for those who are suffering. The prayer on the button is in Italian but the sentiment of compassion is global.
Sincerely,
Macombexec
