The Earth is shaking in Turkey! People are happy that they are still alive!

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 occurred in the Turkish province of Osmaniye around 18:4. The epicenter was about 16 km (10 miles) north of the town of Osmaniye. The aftershock occurred at a depth of about 10 km (6 mi), and light to moderate tremors were likely felt in areas near the epicenter. There were no initial reports of damage or casualties from the earthquake; significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours before authorities can fully assess the damage, especially in remote areas. Repeated aftershocks are likely in the coming days. Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the aftershock zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions may occur during outages, but service is likely to be restored quickly if no damage is found. Power outages are possible, especially near the epicenter of the earthquake. Out of an abundance of caution, consider evacuating high-rise buildings affected by the tremors until authorities confirm their structural integrity. Mon
