VISSO, Italy — Authorities scrambled to find housing Thursday for thousands of people displaced by a pair of strong earthquakes that struck the same region of central Italy hit by a deadly quake in August, hoping to prevent a second night for them on the street or in cars.
The one-two punch packed by the quakes some two hours apart Wednesday evening meant many people were out of harm’s way before the second, more powerful temblor, which toppled many historic buildings that had survived previous jolts.
