>The metro system and some schools in Italy's capital, Rome, were being evacuated Wednesday following a series of powerful earthquakes that struck the heart of the country.
>An initial 5.3-magnitude quake hit central Italy 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) west-northwest of Amatrice, a town devastated by powerful temblors last year, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
>While the epicenter was 90 kilometers northeast of Rome, the quake was felt strongly in the capital, sending people running from buildings in a panic.
>It struck at 10:25 am (4:25 am ET) at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers and has been followed by eight aftershocks in the same area, including one as strong as 5.7, the USGS reported.
>There are no immediate reports of casualties or damage but firefighters told CNN that heavy snow blocking roads has hampered their initial assessment.
>Around 850 firefighters are engaged but there have been no requests for rescues so far, the Italian Fire Department said in a Twitter post.
>Disaster authorities in Rome said they had been inundated with hundreds of calls from the city.
>Officials have begun looking for cracks and damage to structures in the city, many of them ancient and vulnerable from previous tremors.
Amatrice mayor: 'I have no words'
>All the aftershocks have all hit around Amatrice, in the mountainous regions of Marche, Lazio and Abruzzo.

>Another series of quakes hit the region in October, but the impact was small as most people had evacuated from the previous tremors.
>"I don't know if we did something bad. That's what I have been asking since yesterday," Amatrice Mayor Sergio Pirozzi told the AFP news agency.
>"We have got up to two meters of snow and now another earthquake. What can I say? I have no words."
>Italy lies atop the convergence of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it the most quake-exposed country in the Mediterranean.
