Wow,. I throw a little bait out there and I gotcha..
Morning Puterman

This is the part I don't like about studying earthquakes. Most times, when you see the big squiggles, the quake is in an area that's prepared, or it's away from populated areas. Unfortunately, this mornings quake was mid-continental. And in a populated area. I feel for those that are suffering.

Geologists knew Turkey was going to get a large earthquake. But they had the wrong area because they thought it would hit farther to the west. There's still other dangerous faults in Turkey which are still a risk.

There's one thing that distrubed me as I read articles and watched the videos. I wasn't intending to read the comments on You Tube, but one of them caught my attention. It said, " God punishes every country that goes against Isreal. Turkey got its punishment today. and this time... WE WON'T HELP YOU! deal with this urselfs!"

Maybe it's just a kid, and his parents didn't teach him love. Whatever.

The affected area is where you have ethnic Kurds. The Kurds are not the dominate power in the country, and they have been seeking independance from Turkey. The Kurds have suffered at the hands of the government and they have little or no power and certainly aren't a threat to Isreal.

In fact, at the moment, the Turkish goverment is fighting the Kurds. There has been recent clashes and deaths in the fighting. If anything, this does not hurt the Turkish goverment but helps it because it weakened the rebels. It hurts the Kurds. It hurts a people that have already been suffering.

God had nothing to do with this.
Nor anything else, other than tectonics.

Nor did some hi tech weapon miss Iran and hit the wrong target.
It's a human tragedy- nothing else.

I knew it was a baited hook of course. I just had to respond!!

I think the think will be to see if this continues but I think that it will not. Having said that Turkey was not exactly expected as far as I was concerned. I can'y keep an eye on every area unfortunately

Totally fail it was an earthquake on October 21... Sorry.

Good afternoon Vitch. The world moved on since Friday - that quake was the Kermedec Islands on Friday afternoon UTC.

Just in case you missed it today is Sunday at 16:00 UTC

That one was reduced to a 7.4

ETA: OK, you twigged it. No harm done

Oh no,here we go again,no data just gap,gap,gap!!!I'm so sick of this!!!

Sorry where are we going again?

Where is the no data?

Sorry my program didn't work well!

PM, thought you might see this:
atlas.geo.cornell.edu...

Too bad it was temporary, cause it is has stations all over this area of Turkey.

I have tried pretty hard to come up with some stations in GEE near the epicenter, but not having much luck, even with temporary arrays. When I can't find a regular permanent station, the last resort is temporary arrays, but RARELY do they ever provide any data. Most are long ago shut down, and if they are up, many are restricted, special study arrays they don't release data from- until after two to three years have passed from the CLOSING of the array as the study concludes.

So we are kind of out of luck on this one, but you can try IU.ANTO, in more western Turkey, which doesn't do much good for aftershocks cause it's so far- but it is still up. I think also it may be in an error state. I can also confirm IU.GNI has gone out- got nothing.

ETA: Been also monitoring II.KIV, and now showing aftershock coming in, showing as well at IU.ANTO, but KIV is closer (at least to this aftershock, which I am not sure exactly where it is coming from- but probably from same general area as the 7.2)

reply to post by TrueAmerican


II.KIV is the next nearest that I can find: KIV.II.00.BHZ.2011.296 but it swamps any follow on quakes. (ETA: OK in GEE of course)

ANTO.IU.10.BHZ.2011.296 is OK but the closest is of course IU.GNI if it comes back on line. GNI.IU.10.BHZ.2011.296 Mm, they are holding that one back. It does seem to be running now but is running behind. Last i looked it had stopped just after 11 so they are holding the data as it has now moved on to nearly 1300.

Cleaning out the nuke blasts?

Ok, look we got phase data now on that very 5.1 aftershock, and WTF:
MARD ePn 18:11:24.07 -0.1 2.3 237 L:2.1+1 .96 5.1 g:4.4+0 .94 4.8 MARD
eSn 18:11:55.10 S res = 2.6
ARTV ePn 18:11:30.59 -0.1 2.8 340 L:1.5+0 1.0 4.1 g:3.1-1 .94 3.8 ARTV
eSn 18:12:04.30 S res = 0.0
KOPT ePn 18:11:30.65 3.2X 2.5 305 L:3.7+0 1.0 4.4 g:9.8-1 .72 4.2 KOPT

neic.usgs.gov...

All three of those stations are closer than KIV. Hurry man, mad dash to find out what network, cause I have no clue at the moment.

Ok bingo, found MARD through the international registry:
It's the DDA network:
neic.usgs.gov...


And nope, that's not a network available in GEE- figures.

Darn, missed the whole thing (being zzz time)

Been reading earthquakereport, pretty good coverage

Heres my interactive Map showing the aftershocks up till 18:50:12 (I've updated it twice since I started, as they are coming in quite quickly), also shows the Networks locations, EMSC got the closest to what the Turks had, the rest in a line between Van and the actual epi-center.
A/S data from KOERI

Graph of the Aftershock Timeline (same data)

This is not good to many aftershocks for last eight hours ,hope I was wrong,for the big one entire region will blow up,and now Etna?

reply to post by diamondsmith


Don't be silly, this sequence of aftershocks is quite normal for a 7.3 (on land)

I am very right,to many in very short period of time,you will see!!
