ROME (AP) – A powerful aftershock has shaken central Italy after a quake knocked out power and closed a major highway earlier in the evening.

The German Research Centre for Geosciences put the magnitude of the aftershock at 5.9.

The quake was felt as far south as Rome, with buildings swaying for even longer than the initial quake.
