RABAT, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.8 struck central Morocco late on Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, shaking buildings in nearby Marrakesh and sending panicked residents out into the streets. The scale of the damage was not immediately clear. Some videos shared on social media, which Reuters could not immediately verify, appeared to show at least one building collapsing and rubble in the streets. Others showed people running out of a shopping center, restaurants and apartment buildings and congregating outside. In Marrakesh, resident Brahim Himmi said he saw ambulances coming out of the old town and that many building facades were damaged.
