Oh really, loooks like it was near an island . In between Greece and Turkey

no injuries have been reported

Let's hope this is not a foreshock to a bigger one.

Some damage to buildings being cracked as well

A SURGING sea has been reported near Turkey’s resort city of Bodrum after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake rattled residents awake.
Towns near the epicentre of the shock, among the peninsulas and islands of Turkey’s western coast, are reporting broken water mains, gas leaks and downed electricity lines.
Residents of the Bodrum peninsula and surrounds have taken to social media, saying they found it hard to stand as the ground shook beneath them.

Slight shudders of the Earth's crust can be so devastating. Mankind is so fragile and susceptible to nature's whims, aren't we?

Maybe Rosie and Michelle are back together again.

Fingers crossed it leads to nothing more and RIP to the victim(s). Greece amd the islands could do with soe help right now, not this shippp.

On a clearly more important note though:

I'm gonna go ahead and blame Russia.

Or USA...

Bases covered?

This photo puzzles me, it was night time at the time of the quake, right?

Small tsunami in a Hotel Lobby in Marmaris, Turkey, I believe

I think that is definitely an old file. The time is about 2-3 am in Greece right now.

I've seen sections of Chicago and Philadelphia that look like that all the time.

Yeah you're right , I figure it happened around 1:30 am ish and it's still dark out. People were asleep
I edited the pic out of my post.

Thanks for pointing it out

This isn't Chicago, it is Lesbos apparently.

This area can produce bigger quakes. Let's see what the aftershock sequence looks like.
