Earthquakes in local history
The municipality's page on Piscopio traces the history of the church of San Michele Arcangelo: the first church was destroyed by the 1783 earthquake, the next was damaged in 1905 and destroyed in 1908, and the present building was put up in the 1920s. It is a historical reference, not an official seismic classification of the municipality.
Flood at Vibo Marina
According to the municipality's page on Vibo Marina, on 3 July 2006 an exceptional storm caused a flood with heavy damage to industry, tourism and private owners, mostly in the Pennello neighbourhood; the overflow of the Sant'Anna stream and of streams formed on the hill buried the village and nearby localities in mud.
