First a loud roar, then the earth that began to shake. A scary afternoon that he recorded in Sicily, when at 9:27 p.m. the earth was shaken by an earthquake of magnitude 4.6, with its epicenter in the Ragusa area but which actually felt very good from one side of the Trinacria to the other. Already before the roar, many have left their homes to go out, fearing the worst. The next ten and fifteen interminable seconds further frightened the Sicilians, who saw the earth shake beneath their feet.
“It was not a strong earthquake, because this type of classification is reserved for tremors of magnitude greater than five,” the Director of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Catania explained to Fanpage.it. Stefano Branca. Even the mayor of Ragusa, Giuseppe Cattì, contacted by Fanpage.it a few minutes after the earthquake, explained: “They have no news of damage to people or things, but we are verifying a critical problem together with Civil Protection, already in place for the necessary controls.”
However, many citizens are scared and have decided to spend the night on the street. Others, the vast majority, returned home although visibly frightened. The fear is related to other possible tremors that can occur in the next few hours, in the middle of the night. Hence the decision to sleep away from home that some people have wanted to make. Meanwhile, the Civil Protection and the Fire Brigade are engaged throughout Sicily to check the real conditions of buildings and structures: for the moment, however, the situation seems to be calm again.
