Shake N Bake Turkey...........yum.


Jokes aside, the earth is changing and shifting. It's not climate change, it's not the core doing anything, it's not aliens creating problems.............it's just a huge rock in space aging and shifting in its orbit a bit. And we, as the puny insignificants on its surface, are feeling the after affects of such occurances.

It affected Syria as well…lots of collapsed buildings in Syria. 4:17am local time.

There will be thousands dead.

Jeez, I was just watching the 72 most dangerous places to live in the world on Netflix last night and they were showing the PERMANENT damage done to Japan due to the subsequent tsunami that crippled a nuclear reactor and exposed the area and other parts of the world to radiation back on March 11 2011.

They have bags of radioactive dirt just sitting around with no where to dispose of them. And they were indicating that this all could happen again.

Funny, I thought you've said that Twitter isn't a valid source. Yet here you are.

We still have (or recently had) 50 nuclear weapons at Incirlik Air Base in Adana. We also have 5,000 troops there, with more in nearby Diyarbakkar, Erzerum, Ankara.

I hope Gobekli Tepe is ok

Most of it is still buried. It's probably okay.

Not sure the casualties.



The deadly earthquake on Monday in Turkey, which was felt in Syria, Lebanon and Israel, was as strong as one in 1939, the most powerful one on record in Turkey.

At magnitude 7.8, Monday’s quake had the same magnitude as one that killed about 30,000 people in December 1939 in northeast Turkey, Stephen Hicks, a research fellow in seismology at Imperial College London, wrote on Twitter.

Turkey, a hotbed of seismic activity, sits on the Anatolian Plate, which borders two major faults as it grinds northeast against Eurasia. The North Anatolian fault traverses the country from west to east and the East Anatolian fault rests in the country’s southeastern region.

Here are some other deadly earthquakes that have taken place along those fault lines in the past few decades.

October 2020​

A magnitude 7 earthquake near Samos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea near Turkey’s coast, killed at least 24 people in Turkey and caused more casualties in Greece.

January 2020​

A magnitude 6.7 quake shook eastern Turkey, killing at least 22 people, injuring hundreds and causing tremors in Syria, Georgia and Armenia.

October 2011​

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake in eastern Turkey killed at least 138 people and injured about 350. The quake was centered in Van Province, not far from the border with Iran, and it was felt strongly in nearby villages and some parts of northern Iraq.

March 2010​

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake also struck eastern Turkey, killing 51 people. One village was largely destroyed and four others were heavily damaged. A second quake with a 5.6 magnitude subsequently hit the same area, among scores of aftershocks.

August 1999​

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck the western Turkish city of Izmit killed more than 17,000 people.

The footage is devastating. It seems their buildings were not at all built to withstand this. Horrible.

 

[SweetSue92]

A second one now, not an aftershock, a whole second earthquake. 7.6

Maybe this is it, folks. Maybe Jesus is coming back. Who knows.

Damn, there goes the Etch A Sketch art gallery.

 

[1srelluc]

Looks right rough.

 

[1srelluc]

They are getting hammered with fat aftershocks too.

If I didnt eat beef and drive a Yukon, this never would have happened.

My apologies to Turkey. Al Gore can stop the planet from changing…listen to him!

 

[ColonelAngus]

Good Lord….another one hit about 2 hours ago….7.5.

These were felt as far away as Japan. Fucking insane.

Turkey should stop eating meat, then none of this would have happened.
