6.0 Earthquake Rocks Portugal Immediately After Abortion Vote

Quake reported off Portugal, no sign of damage

LISBON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - An earthquake off the coast of Portugal shook Lisbon on Monday and sent tremors across Morocco and southern Spain, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck at 1035 GMT 335 kms (210 miles) from Lisbon and 345 km (215 miles) north-west of Casablanca in Morocco. A brief tremor was felt in the Moroccan capital Rabat on the Atlantic coast, causing some people to run into the street. Mobile phones briefly stopped working as people made urgent calls to check relatives were safe. The tremor revived painful memories of an earthquake in the Moroccan town of Al Hoceima in 2004 which killed nearly 600 people and made thousands homeless. Spanish radio said the quake was also felt in Andalucia. (Additional reporting by bureaus in MADRID and RABAT) Portugal's interior ministry said there was no evidence of damage or injuries.
