Well be fair, they are a bit closer to Turkey than the US.

[CatHerd]

Oh, I am. We are an ocean away, after all.

[dfwgator]

But you’re right in that we’ll probably have “strings attached” to sending aid there.

[CatHerd]

We almost always attach strings, true. I thought the statement was worded rather ... unfortunately. But hey, it’s Jake Sullivan. What else can one expect?

[Owen]

FR will be checking bodies in the rubble to see if they are vaxed and suddenly dead.

[M_Continuum]

😂 funny but true

[caww]

I suspect God has a good grasp on who is who to Him....regardless of their affiliation or not with Erdogan. However Erdogan only uses people as cannon fodder to get what he wants so I have no concerns regarding his life one way or another.

[CatHerd]

Rofl!!!

Sad but true.

USGS shows quakes and aftershocks every few minutes, it’s like the whole area is constantly shaking.

[caww]

I imagine it will be like that for a couple weeks even....two powerful earthquakes like that will surely create a multitude of aftershocks....

I read even Greenland felt it.

I do not believe God will do any smiting for a country playing pure politics.

If God was in the business of smiting a Country for refusing admission to a defense pack, God would have leveled the USA, Canada, the UK, and France/Germany and Rome before dropping to political reasons.

God cares about the soul and the morals, not politics.

I had a very long very busy yesterday, so the first I heard of this earthquake / earthquake was on the 10 pm TV news. They showed several vids of building collapses occurring during daylight, so I assume these were during aftershocks. I've never seen more than one such collapse in a news report so soon after the event, and this is several. I can imagine thousands of collapses.

I see fatalities are over 5000 now & can easily imagine many more could be found.

The damage zone looks considerably smaller than if such a quake was to let loose on the New Madrid Fault, so, that's something to consider for us in the future, even though our construction is generally better...

[Paul R.]

The situation after the New Madrid quakes was said to be similar. Earthquake storms are a real thing... :-(

[DejaJude]

I’m a native Californian, so I’ve been through many quakes, but never had anything like that! I know we’re in for it some day.

Pray for Turkey.

i can’t believe that Biden ignored this massive tragedy in his address to the nation last night.

More than 12,000 dead, crushed in their homes at night.

Will he take some money away from Zelensky and send it to Erdogan for humanitarian relief?

[miserare]

As usual, thank you for the photos.

[miserare]

Turkey isn’t rising from this cataclysmic disaster anytime soon.

[miserare]

Noted.

[miserare]

...speaking of smiting...

Bidens and Clintons should have some of that coming their way.

[miserare]

Has anyone seen Greta the Prophetess lately?
