Hello!!

Just thought i would ask if anybody else felt the earthquakes over the last 2 nights or is it just the Özdere/Izmir area that had it strong. For the past 2 nights around about 4 oclock we have felt very strong earthquakes that have gone on for a long time. The first night (friday 4th feb) it woke me up and i witnessed my sliding wardrope door open then close again ... thats how bad it was. it also knocked over my ironing board that i was too lazy to put away the day before haha. Last night (saturday 5th feb) was just as strong but thankfully didnt open any doors or knock anything over but i know my neighbours house had a few smashed objects!!

How scary are these earthquakes? Did anybody else witness it.

we have had alot of activity in Kusadasi and Selcuk... here is the report for saturday morning, we had a 4.1...
We didnt have any damage or breakages and I am very central... we just shook for bout 5 or 6 seconds.

You are getting it quite strong from here though. How long would you say it lasts?

wow look at those results. for the past 2 nights i think they have lasted for about 20-30 seconds (feels like forever). they have been so bad. the 1st night was the scariest for me as it was the 1st time i have ever really noticed it and to wake me up ... well it must have been bad because i am a very heavy sleeper. my husband was the best though, when i woke up and saw the door moving i shouted oh my fudging god (sorry about my language) and all he said was sam shut up and go back to sleep!! haha. but last night the earthquake give him flash backs of the earthquakes turkey suffered in 1999 and he was quite freaked about about it and never saw him like that before. do you think we have more on the way? xxx

I am not in your area. I am in Istanbul, but we have our share of tremors. I've gotten very accurate at estimating the strength of quakes just while sitting at my desk and working. I call it my butt-o-meter.

I'm also have an accurate mom-o-meter for estimating temperatures on sick children's foreheads. Very useful.

So far since the Big One we haven't had anything that would open our cabinet doors or knock over an iron. Thankfully.

Long may it continue Mac.

Love the idea of your butt-o-meter.
