Residents in the U.S. Pacific Northwest were shaken Wednesday by a major earthquake that sent bricks in Seattle, Washington, crashing to the ground and knocked out power to thousands of electricity customers. There were no reports of injuries.
The earthquake, estimated at a preliminary magnitude of 7.0, hit at 10:55 a.m., said officials at the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was centered 35 miles southwest of Seattle and felt in Salt Lake City, 700 miles away, said the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska.

MESSAGE BOARD
Seattle shake-up
A Seattle hospital reports that it is treating 10 people for quake-related injuries. There`s no word on how serious the injuries are.
The Federal Aviation Administration shut down Seattle-Tacoma Airport and the nearby Boeing Field-King County Airport Wednesday the quake.
"We are assessing damage now," said Lynn Lampe. "The power is still on in the airport." She said she could see pieces of ceiling damage and water leaks in the airport.
"Everyone was panicked," said Paulette DeRooy, who was in an elevator descending from the 15th floor from a downtown Seattle building when the temblor struck. She and several others scrambled onto a fire escape.
Screams erupted at a nearby hotel, where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology conference. He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exits. Some audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out.
Video of the speech showed the stage shaking violently and some overhead lights falling to the floor.
"I thought a car had hit my building," said Sam Song, who owns a restaurant in Everett, 30 miles north of Seattle. "Then the ground started moving around."
Utility officials estimated that 17,000 of its 350,000 customers were without power.
Oregon residents shaken from quake
In downtown Portland, Oregon, office buildings swayed for 20-30 seconds, and television stations were deluged by calls from viewers reporting rolling motion across the area. Michelle Noonan of suburban Lake Oswego said the quake was strong enough to move things around in her house.
"Everything was shaking," Noonan said. "It knocked over a wood pile outside house. Books fell off the shelf."
Earthquake magnitudes are measures of earthquake size calculated from ground motion recorded on seismographs. With each scale, an increase in one full number -- from 6.5 to 7.5, for example -- means the quake`s magnitude is 10 times as great.
A quake with a magnitude of 6 can cause severe damage, while one with a magnitude of 7 can cause widespread heavy damage.
A magnitude-5.0 quake that struck the Puget Sound area on January 28, 1995, was described as the strongest to hit the area in 30 years, since a 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck April 29, 1965, injuring at least 31 people. In 1949, a 7.1-magnitude quake near Olympia killed eight people.
The Northridge quake that struck the Los Angeles area in January 1994 caused an estimated $40 billion in damage and killed 72 people. It was a magnitude 6.7.
The earthquake, estimated at a preliminary magnitude of 7.0, hit at 10:55 a.m., said officials at the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was centered 35 miles southwest of Seattle and felt in Salt Lake City, 700 miles away, said the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska.

update SEATTLE--A strong earthquake shook the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday, dropping bricks on the streets of downtown Seattle and knocking out power to thousands of people. There was no immediate word of any injuries.
The magnitude 6.2 earthquake hit at 10:55 a.m., said officials at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska. It was centered 35 miles southwest of Seattle and felt in Salt Lake City, 700 miles away. Some reports put the magnitude at 7.0.
"Everyone was panicked," said Paulette DeRooy, who was in an elevator descending from the 15th floor from a downtown Seattle building when the temblor struck. She and several others scrambled onto a fire escape.
Screams erupted at a nearby hotel, where Microsoft chairman and co-founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology conference. He calmly walked off the stage as audience members scrambled for the exits. Some people were knocked down by others trying to get out.

A spokesman for Microsoft, located in nearby Redmond, said employees felt the quake, but services such as e-mail, phone and Internet access were not disrupted.

Riots Erupt at Seattle Mardi Gras Party
Last updated: 28 Feb 2001 17:36 GMT+00:00 (Reuters)
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Riots broke out during Mardi Gras celebrations in Seattle`s historic Pioneer Square early on Wednesday, injuring 70 people and prompting police to use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a crowd of about 4,000, officials said.
Most of the injuries came when groups of young people charged party-goers at random, overturned cars and smashed storefront windows in Pioneer Square, Seattle`s oldest neighborhood. Two people were hurt critically.
Police in body armor fired tear gas and rubber pellets to disperse some 4,000 people and arrested 21 on charges ranging from assault to weapons possession.
It was not the only Mardi Gras-related violence in the country overnight. In Philadelphia, crowds of drunken party-goers looted shops and battled police on horseback as a day of drinking and celebration came to an end.
More than 200 people in the "City of Brotherly Love" were arrested.
Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske defended his decision not to intervene earlier, saying he feared for the safety of the 350 officers after crowds had threatened paramedics and turned back a fire truck attempting to reach the scene.
"Because of the crowd volume ... they could not get in to disrupt that behavior," Kerlikowske told a news conference.
Police had drawn criticism for breaking up earlier Mardi Gras street parties last weekend, when arrests appeared to spur a smattering of violence and vandalism. Kerlikowske said he was determined not to trigger any further violence.
"We saw those arrests as a spark," he said, adding: "My patience is pretty thin to think about future block parties and Mardi Gras."
Seattle police have now donned riot gear to break up crowds three times in the last 15 months, including the December 1999 World Trade Organization meetings, when tens of thousands of protesters blocked city streets, and a much smaller demonstration two months ago to mark the anniversary of that protest.
Kerlikowske rejected any comparisons between the largely peaceful WTO crowds and the drunken revelers who spoiled Seattle`s Mardi Gras. "I don`t think the two (events) even come close to a match," he said.

Panik auf den Straßen von Seattle
Erdbeben erschüttert Nordwesten der USA
Ein starkes Erdbeben hat die US-Westküstenmetropole Seattle im Bundesstaat Washington erschüttert. Nach Angaben des geologischen Instituts USGS hatte es eine Stärke von 7,0 auf der Richterskala. Hunderte Menschen liefen in Panik auf die Straße. Bisher wurden zwölf Verletzte gemeldet.
Das Beben dauerte etwa 30 Sekunden, das Epizentrum lag rund 50 Kilometer südwestlich von Seattle, in der Stadt Olympia. In Seattle habe es schon erste Schadenmeldungen gegeben, aber "nichts Katastrophales", sagte der Bürgermeister Paul Schell.
Die örtlichen Fernsehsender zeigten Bilder von starken Schäden an Gebäuden. Auf den Straßen lagen zertrümmerte Scherben von Fenstern. In Supermärkten fielen Lebensmittel von den Regalen. Eine Gruppe Touristen saß für eine auf der Aussichtsplattform der Space Needle fest. Der Turm gilt als Wahrzeichen von Seattle.
Der Flughafen von Seattle musste nach Angaben des n-tv Partnersenders CNN geschlossen werden, da der Kontroll-Tower wegen Schäden evakuiert wurde. Auch die nahe gelegenen Werke des Flugzeugriesen Boeing wurden geschlossen. In 17.000 Haushalten ist der Strom ausgefallen.
Weiter südlich wurde die Metropole Portland im Staat Oregon auch erschüttert. Nach ersten Angaben waren Auswirkungen des Bebens bis in das 1100 Kilometer entfernte Salt Lake City im Bundesstaat Utah zu spüren. Erdbeben sind in der Region nicht ungewöhnlich, eine Erschütterung dieser Stärke ist jedoch sehr selten.

Nach Erdbeben in USA
Hunderttausende ohne Strom
Bei dem starken Erdbeben in der US-Westküstenmetropole Seattle im Bundesstaat Washington sind offenbar deutlich mehr Menschen verletzt worden als ursprünglich angenommen. Jüngsten Angaben zufolge wurden rund 250 Menschen verwundet, als am Mittwoch gegen 11 Uhr Ortszeit rund 30 Sekunden die Erde zitterte.
Ziegelwände und ganze Dächer stürzten ein. Ungezählte Scheiben gingen zu Bruch. Die Häuser selbst blieben jedoch stehen. Mindestens drei Personen trugen schwere Verletzungen davon, schweben aber nicht in Lebensgefahr. Eine Frau erlitt während des Bebens einen Herzinfarkt und verstarb in der Folge.
Nach Angaben des geologischen Instituts USGS hatte das Beben eine Stärke von 6,8 auf der Richterskala. Das Epizentrum lag 55 Kilometer südlich von Seattle. Hunderte Menschen liefen in Panik auf die Straße.
Der Gouverneur von Washington rief den Notstand aus. Die Höhe der Schäden ist kaum abschätzbar. Experten sehen die Schäden in dem rund drei Millionen Einwohner zählenden Großraum allerdings als verhältnismäßig gering an. Die Tiefe des Bebens in einem Graben rund 50 Kilometer unter der Oberfläche habe den Nordwesten der USA vor einer Katastrophe bewahrt.
Etwa 200.000 Menschen in Washington und im Nachbarstaat Oregon mussten zeitweilig ohne Strom auskommen. Der Flughafen von Seattle wurde für drei Stunden gesperrt.
Erdbeben sind in der Region nicht ungewöhnlich, eine Erschütterung dieser Stärke ist jedoch sehr selten. Das Erdbeben war das Stärkste in der Gegend seit 1965.
