CONFIRMED.
Amen.
And I hope it dislodged more Muslim plaster from the fresco Iconography in Hagia Sophia.
And Series ?
And now just reported a 6.7 in Netanya, Israel!
aftershocks seem to be weaker at least
There apparently had been precursor quakes.

1999 Izmit Earthquake
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_%C4%B0zmit_earthquake
On the 17th of August, 1999 at 3:01 AM local time, a catastrophic magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Kocaeli Province of Turkey, causing monumental damage and 17,127–18,373 deaths.
I hope the loss of people and buildings is as small as possible.

On May 22, 1960 a great Mw 9.5 earthquake, the largest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded, occurred off the coast of southern Chile. This earthquake generated a tsunami that was destructive not only along the coast of Chile, but also across the Pacific in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines.

7.8 Richter
Good grief.
Sylmar and Northridge were bad enough at 6.7
This Turkish quake is 10 times stronger.
Lord, have mercy. 🙏
That’s a big one.
Any weather balloons in the area??
Turkey wasn’t the only one who got hit as there were others as well such as New Zealand as well as Taiwan.

I didn’t see anything on utube from the earthquake dude. I wonder why?
My daughter just texted me that there was an earthquake in Lancaster, New York
Very rare if true.
