Oh My God!!!!
I was on the other side in that time, good that that earthquake happened later, and of course If the earthquake have been stronger, and If it have triggered a tsunami I have maybe been dead in that time, I was first on the way on cruise-tour with Liberty Of The Seas from Barcelona 2nd of july, and on 7th of july I was in Rome.
Thank God that it was not bigger and not happened earlier
