Sizable earthquake in southwest Iceland this afternoon
Magnitude 6.1-6.3 on Richter scale, by Selfoss, about 50 km from Reykjavik,
no damage reported in Reykjavik, road to Selfoss is cut, probably some damge in the general area. No reports of injuries, though it is early to tell for sure.
Earthquake was felt throughout western Iceland, and buildings in Reykjavik were evacuated. Continuing aftershocks are being felt.
Heavy blog traffic in Iceland, on this, but no immediate reports of serious damage or injury, mostly "yeah I felt it too" and "was it bigger than the 'quake of 2000"
Seems like visir.is is down - presumably overloaded.
Sounds like it was under Ingólfsfjalli - good photo here of a fresh avalanche
More furniture and crockery pics - sounds like the towns of Selfoss and Hveragerði had a bit of a scare.
Mogginn - with new improved canonical pictures of broken crockery
Good coverage (in Icelandic, natch) at www.visir.is - lots of pictures.
Photo of location and maps of epicenter and aftershocks at this photo blog
Report is the epicenter was shallow, only 2 km below the surface.
Now reports of damage, including road and bridges, water and phone lines and "houses completely destroyed" in Selfoss.
Preliminary reports of injuries now. All minor so far. - Bruising/scrapes, no major injuries reported.
Hospital/clinic at Selfoss has considerable damage and is being partially evacuated as there are concerns the building is no longer structurally safe.

The BBC has some video available, including the Parliament being briefly interrupted (possibly a good thing, depending on your politics), plus the usual surveillance camera footage. The link below has sort of a Greatest Hits compilation, and the links at the video's end will take you to a few more, some partially redundant. There's also a brief audio interview with Pall Einarsson, a geophysics professor, lower down on the same page:
