God, have mercy on the poor people in the path of destruction.
Currently 0430 (AM) over there.
All the junk buildings over there..
Been to Turkey a few times. Saw many homes that were in “under construction” status. If a Turk adds on to his house , it’s a 2nd or 3rd story, to accommodate the in-laws, etc. Lots of haphazard looking stuff.
17 km is the same depth as the 1994 Northridge Quake.
Northridge was 6.7 Richter, this Turk quake at 7.8 is over 10 times as powerful.
I was 50 miles from both Northridge and Sylmar and they were still scary as hell. I wouldn’t want to find out what 7.8 would be like.
Lord, have mercy. 🙏
That’s a big one.
Prayers up.
Prayers up.

Many Twitter threads. Devi station is severe.
Israel, Rgypt, Georgia and Romania also felt this monster! Very deep temblor.
Any weather balloons in the area??
On top of that the temperatures there right now are near freezing.
I remember when I was stationed at Incirlic Air Base in the 80s the USAF had spent millions on hundreds of very nice new two story housing units. Agreements with Turkey required all construction to be built by contract with Turkish companies. They were built on slab and within no time of being finished and put into use the occupants would hear something like a shotgun blast and then find a wide gaping crack a wall. I’m talking a crack sometimes inches wide and running from the foundation to the roof. It wasn’t long before nearly every home had to be home for anywhere from one or more cracks and other associated damage. If the soil in the rest of Turkey is like that in Incirlik then its no surprise that a huge quake occurred.
Turkey wasn’t the only one who got hit as there were others as well such as New Zealand as well as Taiwan.

Some of those aftershocks gonna knock down what was loosened with the 7.8 one.
I wonder was the pre earthquake shocks were measured at.
I didn’t see anything on utube from the earthquake dude. I wonder why?
Looking on Twitter this morning, lots of pics and video of buildings collapsed and roads destroyed
Buildings continued to collapse after the main shock
