A rare monstrous earthquake struck Marrakech, Morocco last night, sending people from their beds into the streets and toppling buildings into mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force, the Yahoo News website reports today (Sept. 9, 2023).
More than 1,000 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled today to get through boulder-strewn roads to the remote areas hit hardest.
The magnitude-6.8 quake -- the biggest to hit Morocco in 120 years -- sent people fleeing into darkened streets in terror and disbelief.
