Earthquake is most dangerous in Turkey’s contemporary history
The death toll continues to increase in Turkey and Syria almost 2 weeks after the series of disastrous earthquakes, making this the most dangerous catastrophe in contemporary Turkish history.
The very first earthquake, a magnitude 7.8, struck the area on Feb. 6 at 4:17 a.m. local time (8:17 p.m. EST Feb. 5). That was almost instantly followed by a strong 6.7 magnitude aftershock, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Nine hours later on, an effective 7.5 magnitude aftershock struck the area– simply among the countless aftershocks of differing magnitude that have actually been shaking the area for weeks.
