Piles of rubble and damaged buildings could be seen across the Italian town of Borgo Sant'Antonio on early Wednesday morning, after two earthquakes had struck central Italy in quick succession the previous day. The twin earthquakes come just two months after an earlier powerful earthquake devastated central Italy, leading to the death of over 300 people. According to Italian officials, the twin tremors may have been aftershocks from the August 24 earthquake. The first earthquake hit at around 7:10 PM local time, measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale, and could be felt across the region, as far as Rome some 150 miles away from the earthquake's epicentre near Perugia. The second, a 6.1-magnitude quake, struck the same area at around 9:18 PM local time. Several people have been injured so far, and four of them are said to have suffered serious injuries. However the structural damages caused by the earthquake are extensive. Many buildings collapsed due to the powerful earthquakes. The mayor of Ussita, Marco Rinald, said the "town is finished", on Italian television. The earthquake also severely damaged the road to Ussita, which was covered by snaking cracks in the pavement.
