The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Morocco has claimed the lives of over 2,000 people. A local resident of Jacksonville, John Palumbo, narrowly escaped this catastrophe as he left the country mere hours before the earthquake struck.
Action News Jax reporter Ben Ryan interviewed John Palumbo, who shared his gratitude for escaping the disaster.
Palumbo stated that he is glad that his friends whom he has known for over 10 years appear to be okay, but knows that the areas hardest hit will have to rebuild - many of which were historic locations. Palumbo, who owns a home in Morocco, expressed relief that, so far, his friends and his house appeared to be unscathed from the disaster.
