quakes.globalincidentmap.com...

Though I'm new to quake watching, only about a year now, but look at this swarm of quakes in the Turkey area.

All within a short amount of time, is this anything to be concerned about??

Probably not. These are "smaller tremors" You see these types of clusters all the time in areas all over the world. We should just keep an eye on it however and make sure they dont get too large.

It does remind me of the Cali and Alaska clusters, I just don't remember Turkey having clusters like this before?

There are always small tremors in Turkey nothing unusual there.

Lived in Turkey for many years.

I always used this link when living there.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I use the same website for quakes. It's unusual to see clusters of quakes in that region like that.

I noticed that the feed reporting the quakes is the CSEM-EMSC feed, which I don't think posts very often to the global incident map.
