- #earthquake M 6.7 - CENTRAL TURKEY - 2023-02-06 01:28:18 UTC This is the strongest aftershock so far. Aftershocks will continue in the region for some time, mostly 4-5 magnitude, but a stronger tremor is possible.
- A stronger aftershock may occur in or near Central Turkey in the coming days.
- EARTHQUAKE WARNING A convergence of critical planetary geometry around 2 and 5 March may result in large to very large seismic activity, possibly even a mega-thrust earthquake around 3-4 March and/or 6-7 March.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThere is no scientific basis for earthquake prediction; claims of predictive utility from planetary alignment have been disproven. There is always a chance for quakes in areas with active faults, but these specific forecasts perform no better than random when tested. usgs.gov/faqs/can-you-p… snopes.com/fact-check/can… npr.org/2023/02/07/115… pnsn.org/outreach/faq/e… scienceexchange.caltech.edu/topics/earthqu… usgs.gov/faqs/can-posit…
- Moderate shaking in Western and Central Turkiye today. Stronger tremors are possible in the next several days.
- Regions around Arabian plate with higher risk potential for stronger earthquakes since 6 February 2023. This is a general indication and not time-specific.
- Expect aftershocks in Turkey/Syria in the coming days.
- So far, 10 aftershocks of M 5.5 and larger have occurred in #Turkey (following the initial Mw 7.8). Aftershocks will continue in the coming days and possibly weeks. A stronger aftershock approaching/exceeding M 6 is possible. #earthquake #deprem.
- A stronger aftershock - possibly 6 magnitude - *may* occur in or around Central Turkey in the coming days.
- Potential for stronger seismic activity in or near the purple band 1-4 days. This is an estimate. Other regions are not excluded.
