A powerful 6.6-magnitude earthquake rocked central Italy on Sunday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey, in the strongest tremor to hit the country in 36 years.
Residents ran onto the streets in a panic as the quake struck at 7:40 a.m. local time (2:40 am ET), and rescuers were seen in the area around crumbling historical buildings soon after the tremor hit, helping evacuate a group of nuns. They worked through aftershocks that hit every 20 minutes or so.
Recall earlier this week that there was a 5.5 and 6.1 .. and in August a major quake that hit and killed 300 people..
Prayers go to the nation of Italy..
