DRONE FOOTAGE SHOWS TOWN ‘WIPED OFF THE MAP’ AFTER ‘APOCALYPTIC’ 6.2 ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE HITS, KILLING 120.

Early Wednesday morning, a devastating 6.2 magnitude earthquake strong enough to be felt more than 100 miles away in Rome, hit central Italy southeast of Norcia.

Towns across three regions — Umbria, Lazio and Marche — were hit. The mayor of Amatrice, a town in the province of Rieti where the earthquake did the most damage, says his town “isn’t here any more”. The earthquake has essentially wiped it off the map (see below).

The death toll has officially risen to 120 and counting, and another 150 are estimated to still be missing, trapped among the rubble. Eighty six people lost their lives in Amatrice alone. Thousands are homeless now.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
