Dozens Missing at Hotel in Italy After 'Immense' Avalanche - Mystic Wanderer - 01-19-2017 A handout picture provided by the Italian Fire Department shows an aerial view of hotel Rigopiano after it was hit by an avalanche in Farindola, in the Abruzzo region of Italy, early on January 19, 2017. According to an Italian mountain rescue team, several people have been killed in an avalanche that hit a hotel near the Gran Sasso mountain in Abruzzo region. Authorities believe that the avalanche was triggered by a series of earthquakes in central Italy on Wednesday. Photo by Italian Fire Department/European Pressphoto Agency These people have been through it! Several hours earlier, there were a series of earthquakes that closed schools, and could be responsible for setting off this avalanche that buried a hotel, possibly killing as many as 30 people inside. Quote:The Hotel Rigopiano near the Gran Sasso mountain in central Italy was hit by an avalanche early Thursday, after four earthquakes shook the mountain region of the country the day before and a series of aftershocks was felt throughout the night. This is a breaking story, so all the details are not out yet. I hope they find more survivors. My thoughts and prayers go out to these people.
