His Majestie asked me whether that weather was usual in our Island. I told him that in 40 years I never knew the like before. (Charles II talking to his jailer in Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight (the 'Island')) |

Istanbul is the one everyone is fearing. Been a long time since a major quake |

Just hope the present quake doesn't tickle up the NAF. |

Just wondering what part of the island has this affected - quite a nasty jolt and capable of causing quite a bit of damage and maybe some deaths as well ? John |

RogerP West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire No county (Lincolnshire) has better churches and worse houses. The poorer sort of people wash their clothes with hog's dung, and burn dried cow's dung for want of better fuel; whence comes the Lincolnshire proverb: "Where the hogs shite soap and the cows shite fire".

Fairly big earthquake (7.4) has occurred in southern Mexico apparently but details are scant. |

There has just been a magnitude 5.6 (IMO reported magnitude) quake in SW Iceland (about 25km S of Reykjavik). It is in an area that has been quite active this year and has several interlinked volcanic systems. At present I don’t know if it is tectonic or magmatic. USGS have revised it to magnitude 5.5. No current sign of any eruption. Edited by user 20 October 2020 14:42:09(UTC)
| Reason: Magnitude revision |

Could be bad 
Quote:A powerful earthquake has struck off Turkey's Aegean coast, north of the Greek island of Samos, officials said. The 7.0 magnitude tremor, about 17km (11 miles) off the coast of western Izmir province, was felt as far away as Athens and Istanbul, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said. There was no word on casualties but images from the Turkish city of Izmir showed buildings that had collapsed.

My brother is in Turkey and posted on our Whatsapp group that he’d just had an Earthquake and they’re still getting after shocks. |

I stayed in a great hotel near Ozdere 9 years ago, which is south of Izmir and overlooking the bay where the epicentre was. I suspect it could have serious damage. It's also very close to Ephesus, hope that's not badly affected. Saw this on Twitter: SHOW TWEETS |

Sky say ‘Mini’ Tsunami. I hate that term. They didn’t look mini to me Sky need to understand the energy that’s needed to generate this and the mechanics involved |

It's also very close to Ephesus, hope that's not badly affected. A few years ago we had a Natural History week on the island of Samos, which has also been affected by this earthquake. Their vital tourist economy will already have been upskittled by Covid-19 and they are a frequent landing place for migrants too. A 'quake could be a serious matter for them and there are low lying settlements near low beaches that would be vulnerable to a tsunami-like sea surge.
