A magnitude 6,2 earthquake has hit Italy. The town of Amatrice is heavily damaged. Buildings have fallen and roads are destroyed.
According to Wikipedia 73 are reported dead and 150 are missing. It was just said on the evening news that 120 are dead. I don't know which number is correct, but the death toll is high and the damage to the town is enormous.

Yes, it's just horrible. We've seen some awful images on the news. People are trapped under buildings and survivors are knocking desperately on walls to be found.
