Amen.

And I hope it dislodged more Muslim plaster from the fresco Iconography in Hagia Sophia.

Magnitude 7.8 - Central Turkey
2023-02-06 01:17:35 (UTC)37.174°N 37.032°E 17.9 km depth

Seems deep. Don’t know my Earthquake science. Might be good or bad, but in this part of the world their building standards are not up to snuff. Going to be many casualties.

The “Amen” in my post was in response to praying for those in the path of destruction.

BTW the earthquake epicenter is very close to the Syrian border and the Syrian city of Aleppo.

So you might also want to pray for the Syrian people.
