Google Earth maps quake effects

Thankfully we don't suffer with them in Florida as they do in, say, San Francisco, but the people of Italy have again been at the center of another earthquake disaster in the past few days.
More than 200 people have died after a powerful earthquake hit central Italy on Monday. The quake, with a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale, hit the city of L'Aquila, 60 miles from Rome. Thanks to an application using Google Maps, you can see a map of the area showing the epicentre and where several of the aftershocks have hit.Not only that, you can also see how earthquakes are taking place around the world and be amazed at just how many there are.Check out the website here
