I've experienced a couple of tremors before- once wilst in Lancaster and a longer/ small series in Manchester at work.

All the computers went off with the latter, and the high roof with glass panels rattled like buggery.

They were tiny on the scale, so something 6 or 7 orders of magnitude larger must be shit scary.

Remember the Manchester one. After being a student but still living the dream. I thought some cunts I lived with had started shaking my bed as some lame bants at 2am. 

I quickly posted a "I've marked myself safe from a mild earth quake in Rusholme" Post on Facebook.

Isnt 8 many many times bigger than a four

Magnitude 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a magnitude 4.

Amongst those pulled from the wreckage in Turkey was Christian Atsu who used to play for Newcastle, Chelsea, Everton and Bournemouth.

Not hearing as much out of Syria where I imagine the loss of life is horrendous.

Death toll already 5k but I think it will go 30k+ overall.

Not sure there are many buildings left in Northern Syria to collapse thanks to Assad and Putin. That place is hell on earth and forgotten about.
