Just caught the headline on MSN breaking news, but it’s not “clickable”. Will try to catch the news article asap.

In some areas of Rome, around 50% of the businesses are closed as people are fleeing the city, in fear of an earthquake predicted for this day by someone decades ago.

Don’t know yet. Very little to go on at the moment.

God be with them.

Isn’t that weird? People were fleeing Rome yesterday because of an old prophesy and it hit Spain. Is Italy next? Very eerie.

An earlier prophesy of an earthquake in Rome was two days off. So the people of Rome are not off the hook. I find this very strange.

That would have been my luck......stock markets, sales, lotteries, earthquakes.......watch what I do and then do the opposite.
