A devastating earthquake
rocked central Italy early Wednesday, collapsing homes on top of residents as
they slept. At least 37 people were killed in hard-hit towns where rescue crews
raced to dig survivors out of the rubble, but the toll was likely to rise as
crews reached homes in more remote hamlets.
