It says most of the deaths are in the mountains, epicentre was Imlil. If the damage is that bad in Marrakesh I can't imagine how devastated the mountain towns and villages will be. I did a trek in that area of the Atlas range some years back and the valleys were amazing. Groves of cherry and walnut trees, terraced fields with an ingenious irrigation system, clusters of simple mudbrick houses.
