1. Rescuers digging through rubble of destroyed buildings
STORYLINE:
Rescuers searched through the rubble of destroyed buildings in the city of Adana after a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked wide swaths of Turkey and Syria early Monday, toppling hundreds of buildings and killing more than 2,300 people.

Hundreds were still believed to be trapped under rubble, and the toll was expected to rise as rescue workers searched mounds of wreckage in cities and towns across the area.

On both sides of the border, residents jolted out of sleep by the pre-dawn quake rushed outside on a cold, rainy, and snowy night.

Buildings were reduced to piles of pancaked floors, and major aftershocks or new quakes, including one nearly as strong as the first, continued to rattle the region.

The quake, which was centered on Turkey's southeastern province of Kahramanmaras, was felt as far away as Cairo.

It sent residents of Damascus rushing into the street, and jolted awake people in their beds in Beirut.
