Spain earthquake: up to 15,000 left homeless - Telegraph: "The mayor of the southern town, Francisco Jodar, said as many as a third of Lorca's 90,000 residents spent the night outdoors after Wednesday's 5.3 magnitude earthquake in fear of aftershocks.
A military task force of 200 troops was sent to the area to provide aid and cordon off dangerous buildings. Part of the front of a badly damaged church collapsed hours after the quake and other buildings were considered unstable.
Eight people including one child perished in the deadliest tremors to hit Spain in more than five decades. Early reports put fatalities at 10 but this was later revised down."
