Just awful. Cnn is reporting over 1500 deaths in Turkey and Syria combined. And that number should rise in the coming hours. So sad

Awful news to wake up to. Hopefully the estimates for deaths are way off and are a lot less.

. What? Earthquakes happen, theyre not a sign of anything more than plate tectonics.

Did you misunderstand me? Of course earthquakes are not the end of the world, but that video with the entire city going dark in the blink of an eye and blue flashes lighting the sky really made the earthquake feel apocalyptic.

People being edgy on the web, ignorance, plus people with barely controlled hatred of Turkey since they're brown, Muslim, because of their leader, and because they're messing with Nato membership of more popular countries.

Not to defend the country's government, it's trash. But people sitting at home safe and sound are taken the actions of the government out on random people buried under rubble.

It's also snowy and barely above freezing in the areas involved, with tens of thousands likely trapped in rubble. It's horrific.

Damn. I hope the rescue operations are extremely successful because I can't imagine a much worse way to go than being trapped and freezing.

The deadliest earthquake in the modern history of Turkey is the 1939 Erzincan quake, with 32,000 dead, and it feels like it's just a matter of time until we reach that death toll here.
