February 7, 20233 yr The news gets worse and worse for Turkey and Syria. Another aftershock hit a number of hours ago. Rescue workers are having problems because roads are out. The airport is so full with rescue workers that incoming aid relief are having to wait in the planes on the tarmac until the airport is clear enough. There are those still alive and knocking on pipes from below the rubble waiting for rescue to arrive and relatives digging with bare hands. Made even worse by truly awful weather conditions My heart goes out to Syria too - war torn, and only one open border crossing with Turkey. RIP the thousands who have died. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/feb/07/turkey-earthquake-syria-in-turkiye-2023-live-updates-latest-news-map-magnitude-7-8-scale-quake-tremor-death-toll-gaziantep-kahramanmaras
February 8, 20233 yr Indeed, stunning how bad it was. I guess in Syria, too, it had been long enough that many buildings weren't at all resistant to/built to at all handle earthquakes.... It also made me think of our old friend Ozgur @Sechtdamon....looks like he is further West than the worst of the earthquake, but just wonder how he is doing....
February 8, 20233 yr ^ Yeah, I had thought of him as well. He hasn't been around here for quite awhile.
February 8, 20233 yr My in-laws live in Turkey now and thankfully they are i dunno 400 miles from Adana ... we heard from them before we heard the news break.
