Huge earthquake in Turkey! A researcher has warned two days ago!
While an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 occurred at 4.17 in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş, two earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.4 and 6.5 occurred in Gaziantep.
As the death toll from one of the strongest earthquakes to strike Turkey in 100 years surpassed 500, rescue workers are racing to locate survivors trapped beneath rubble on either side of the border between Turkey and Syria. Many people are injured and dead number is going up. The earthquake has left 1700 injured so far.
Huge earthquake in Turkey! A researcher has warned two days ago!
The 7.8-magnitude quake that jolted residents out of their beds around 4 a.m. on Monday caused nearly 3,000 additional injuries and sent tremors as far away as Lebanon and Israel. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake's epicenter was 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, in the Gaziantep province of Turkey, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers

The interesting part is someone warned two days ago about the earthquake.
Watch for additional strong seismic activity in Central Turkey and nearby regions. Aftershocks usually continue for a while after a major earthquake.
