I was looking at this, which usually show them pretty quickly.

A potentially damaging earthquake has occurred in Turkey at a shallow depth. It has a magnitude 6. The USGS PAGER system is coming out with 7000 people at a potential MMI of VIII and 34000 at a potential MMI of VII They also have an 88% chance of between 1 and 100 deaths and moderate economic damage.

Hope all are okay...

Which app is this please?

Confirmed as being felt in Bulgaria aswell, so although the USGS shows the shakemap as localised I think once the seismologists look over the data we'll start to see the impact area get increasingly larger. I'm slight concerned now that resulting P-Waves will rupture yet more stress zones along the North Anatolian Fault to the North. This quake is offset that convergence and looks to be in a seperate mid-lateral fault.

(I hate using wikipedia maps as a source, but gives a good idea of the fault mechanism in the Turkey area.)

I hate it when you try to search on BBC etc. for some news or update regarding this ... And you find nothing
