Turkey Earthquake: M7.3

This is just off the wire as I woke up.  It looks really bad, but I haven't looked at the news yet.


Estimated fatalities looks in the thousands.


The city of Van was hit with an MM of 9, which has a PGV of over 100 cm/s.

Update

Looks like it was grossly overestimated.  Only 50 injured.

Update 2

Back up to 1000, maybe more.  If there were total collapses, then not many would be taken to hospital.
