Update, 11:55 a.m.:Updated accounts say that at least 73 people are now known to have died in today’s quakes.
Original post, 9:17 a.m.:At least 39 people have been killed in Central Italy by a 6.2-magnitude earthquake, followed by approximately 40 aftershocks, that began striking at 3:36 a.m. local time. The quakes lasted roughly three hours and were centered in a mountainous region about 100 miles northeast of Rome; buildings in a number of towns and villages have been reduced to rubble, and the death toll is expected to rise.
