When my city experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake almost a decade ago I remember feeling regular strong aftershocks even a month after the first one hit. The aftershocks are gonna be triggering for sure. I pray for them.

The anchorage earthquake in 2018 (7.1) had something like 2500 major aftershocks. A dozen or so per day, just little adrenaline shots, each one.

I know I’m late here but I live in Buffalo, NY and the few hours after the earthquakes hit Turkey we experienced one, I believe it came as like a 3.8-4 and I’ve never been through that so at 6am it was quite a crazy fucking feeling. Extremely lucky it wasn’t any worse and no one died. Feel terrible for the people in Turkey and wouldn’t wish what I felt on anyone and the one we had wasn’t even “bad” per se. I couldn’t comprehend anything on the far end of their scale. 7.8? Jesus
