This is very close to Home, too close to Eretz Yisrael – A Warning??
- A 7.5-magnitude earthquake followed by a powerful 7.8 tremor in Turkey has caused 1,900 deaths so far across southeast Turkey and Syria.
More than 2,830 buildings have been destroyed, Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority said.
The first quake was felt as far away as Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon -- occurred in Kahramanmaras province, north of Gaziantep, near the Syrian border. Most of the damage is in southern Turkey and northern Syria.
The number of victims in Turkey alone has risen to more than 1,700. More than 9,400 people were injured, in addition to the destruction of thousands of buildings. This is Turkey’s largest disaster since 1939 (when 33,000 people were killed in the Erzincan earthquake).
More than 900 people were killed in Syria as buildings there collapsed from the same temblors.
The second earthquake struck the Kahramanmaras province at 1:24 pm local time, according to the Istanbul-based Kandilli observatory and the US Geological Survey (USGS).
It also triggered earthquake alert sirens in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Ganei Tikva, Petach Tikvah’s Beilinson Medical Center and in some Israeli schools, where children immediately followed local earthquake protocols.
The initial temblor struck before dawn at a depth of about 11 miles near the southern Turkish city of Gaziantep, just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Syrian border and was felt as far south as the Sharon region in Israel.
A strong 6.7 aftershock rocked the area just ten minutes later, wreaking more havoc, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of the first quake’s epicenter. Another intense aftershock with a magnitude of 5.6 followed less than ten minutes after that first strong aftershock.

Many warnings coming from H'. The whole world is being judged and on edge.
May decent people everywhere be protected from H'a Forces of Nature. May it wake up humanity to do teshuvah and that we beg G-D Almighty for forgiveness. We are being warned and are in dangerous times.
