Earthquake off Turkey

Not far from Marmaris. 6.7, causing a tsunami towards Rhodes and Kos. Won't be severe like the Asian one years back but will be over the news for the next few days.

Hopefully everyone is sound.

A 6.7 magnitude earthquake in the Mediterranean Sea off the Turkish coast has triggered a mini tsunami. The tremor also affected the Greek island of Kos, where two people were killed and several injured.

The quake struck at an estimated depth of 10km some 12km off the Turkish resort city of Bodrum in Mugla Province, the European Mediterranean Seismological Center reported. It was followed by several less powerful aftershocks.

The tremors caused a tsunami wave, apparently large enough to reach some hotels located on the coastline, as photos shared online indicated.



The quake also affected the Greek island of Kos, where two people were reported killed and several injured, according to the mayor of the island, George Kyritsis.

Everyone left work early. Traffic was stifled. When I finally got home luckily and sadly the only thing broken was a soapstone sculpture that fell off the mantle that my friend got me in Zimbabwe during his world tour. Irreplaceable.
