Death toll up to 150...

[rosethecopycat]

My friend and her husband live in L'Aquila, only 6-7 miles from the epicenter.

Does anyone here have resources on how to find out about people affected there?

I have an address and phone number (which I have not tried- I'm told it's pretty senseless at this time) and an email (which I'm pretty sure is current)

I have an lady in Ligure trying to make some contact.

I just don't know how to try or what to do. I am so worried.

We visited them in 2004. She took us up to the small borgatas (villages) some of which were destroyed in previous earthquakes.

She is a professional violinist with the regional orchestra. He works in a bank and has twin (adult) sons.
They have 3 cats.

Their plan for May is to adopt a 10 year old Ethiopian boy.

PRAY that they are safe, and unaffected by the quake and that their plans are still in place.

Thanks,

Rose

Hi Rose,
I'm sorry about your friends living so close to where it happened.
I have no idea how to find out if they are ok.
You could try the phone number. You never know. It may work.
Let us know if you hear anything.
