The quake caused serious damage to a number of towns and villages, but did not seem to have hit heavily populated areas. The worst affected towns were believed to be Accumoli, Amatrice, Posta and Arquata del Tronto. "Now that daylight has come, we see that the situation is even more dreadful than we feared with buildings collapsed, people trapped under the rubble and no sound of life," said Accumoli mayor Stefano Petrucci. Earlier, Mr Petrucci told RAI state broadcaster that a family of four had been buried when their house collapsed, adding that there was no indication they had survived.
