Large tremor east of Rome...

kills >90 people early this morning. The M6.3 earthquake has displaced an estimated 50,000 people.

Interesting: Italy muzzled scientist who foresaw quake using radon gas levels as a precursor indicator.

This is a developing event and I'll post more later.

UPDATE: a description of the geologic setting. Also, our departmental seismometer detected the event.
