250 dead, tens of thousands homeless, 26 villages and upwards of 10,000 buildings destroyed.
The hospital is working (and others are helping), the search for survivors continues despite the aftershocks, one of which, itself the magnitude of a serious earthquake, was felt in Rome and as far north as Emilia Romagna. The water is operating, most places seem to have electricity and there are tents for 14,500 people.
Despite the Italians' reputation for inefficiency, so far my impression is that they have done really well.
