Oh what a night !

First topic message reminder :

Woken at 3.35'ish the house shaking and lumps of plaster and tiles falling off the wall.  Doggie having a nervous breakdown so we all hid in the car.  Many aftershocks happening, hope they stop soon.  Very scary.  Hope you are all ok.....

Spoke too soon, another one 4.7 earlier this morning, now to stack the woodpile or not ?

For anyone whose house has been damaged, please make sure you contact your Comune immediately and request a sopraluogo (inspection). You'll need to have this if you want to claim state aid for the repairs. They will probably have a special form you need to complete.

Good advice, Admin. I may add take some photos and make a detailed list.

Admin, as you know, if you contact the Comune and ask for an inspection, should they deem the house to be 'uninhabitable' which in our case it is not, where do you stand if you stay put,  Our house has a dodgy wall but it has been like it for years I think, so unsure if the recent quakes have made it unsafe.  The wall concerned is at one side of the house, a sort of addition in the past and is only used for some food prep and showering, we sleep and live in the main house..  Any advice is much appreciated, and with a dog and 2 cats the thought of living in a tent behind the consorzio would not be a goer......

Incase any of you are interested   havn't read this blog, you may find it interesting.
