That's earthquake is pretty close to the city Gaziantep with a population of 2+ million in the metro area..

I’ve begun seeing videos and it’s utter devastation ... there was actually an M8.1 in the midst of such things too but USGS downgrade the sequence so now it’s M7.8 -> M5.6 -> M6.7 and have removed the M8.1 from their feeds (nothing to see here, returning to original programming) with about 15 M5 since felt all across the middle east. Looks like the last M7 in the region was in Aleppo around 1100 AD.
