    A shallow magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck central Italy early Wednesday morning, damaging buildings and burying people in debris, officials said.

    The earthquake struck just after 3:30 a.m. local time about 6 miles from the small town of Norcia, according to the US Geological Survey. Norcia is located about 100 miles northeast of Rome and 62 miles from Perugia, the capital of the Umbria region.


    The quake was shallow, striking at a depth of just over 6 miles, the USGS reported. Initial modeling suggested the shaking could produce extensive damage and casualties.


    One image, purportedly from the town of Amatrice, appeared to show a building with extensive damage.

    The mayor of Amatrice said the quake left people buried under debris and that the “town isn’t here any more,” the Associated Press reported. He said the quake caused extensive damage to the town.

    Luca Cari, a spokesperson for the Italian fire department, told Reuters there were reports of damage to buildings, though he did not provide additional information.

    Italian news channel Rai News showed an image of rubble and a smashed car shortly after the quake.

    Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that shaking was felt throughout central Italy. In Rome, buildings reportedly shook for 20 seconds.

    Matteo Berlenga, who lives in the town of Gubbio, told Reuters “it was the worst (quake) of my life.”


    A series of significant aftershocks followed the first quake, including a magnitude-5.5 also near Norcia, according to the USGS.
