  1. First one is probably a ruptured gas pipeline burning off its inventory. The rest show the state of building codes in third world countries. There was a swarm of quakes, and all of them were pretty shallow - the 7.8 was only 17km deep, the rest around 10. That means there was a lot of lateral movement, side-to-side. Under-built structures don't do so well in those. I hope there's a swift response in aid, even though it's southern Turkey, it's still winter-time there.

  2. I've never like apartment living. And especially if I survived that, my preference might be souped up camping if possible.

  3. Best coverage I've seen is at the Daily Mail.

    I hadn't been aware of the tectonics on the Anatolian plate. Most of Turkey exists between two fault lines.

    1. When I was a boy living in Turkey, we were having dinner and the table started shaking. My Mom scolded my brother thinking he was having fun -- that is until the Turkish house boy (English equivalent butler) came running in yelling: "Earthquake! Earthquake!" He grabbed me on the way out the door and everyone else followed. Fortunately, our place had no severe damage.

    1. Go here:

      https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureId=us6000jllz&extent=34.53404,32.17911&extent=40.46397,45.36271

      It shows all the earthquakes - they are continuing. Click on any dot to see the particulars. The graphic is a severity map; if you select one of the quake dots, then look to the left, you'll see a red button called 'Shake Map'. It shows a graphic similar to the above, with some annotations to help interpret it.

  6. Isn’t this right where Göbeklitepe is located? Probably some of that Ancient Astronaut Ley Line power vortex crap going on, huh?

    1. No, Gobekli Tepe is far enough away, like Incirlik AB, that it only got a relatively mild dose of shaking.

  7. Moonbats are already Claiming it was an "Attack" by the FUSSA because the Turks won't send Tanks to the 'kraine....
