Tens of thousands are evacuated from Sichuan, China, after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake killed at least 13 people and trapped scores in rubble and landslides. 

Full estimates are still being determined, but it's reported over 30,000 of the evacuees were tourists.

Officials say more than a hundred people were trapped in a single landslide.

Electricity and phone service have been knocked out and the military deployed to help with rescue efforts.

Some people were forced to sleep on the street even as aftershocks rattled the region. 

An earthquake that hit Sichuan in 2008 killed almost 70,000 people.
