A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the island of Sumatra March 6, toppling hundreds of buildings in Padang and other cities and killing at least 82 people. The epicenter was about 30 miles northeast of Padang. Power was knocked out in many places and aid and rescue operations were under way. It may be many days before the extent of the damage and the number of dead are known.
