Earthquake - Tumblr Posts
Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive
Hello everyone, although I wouldn't have expected to post stuff like this, this is a time of dire need.
At around 4 AM GMT+3, an earthquake hit the southern provinces of Türkiye: Kahramanmaraş and Hatay with the power of 7.8
The largest earthquake ever recorded in the region since 1939.
People were't able to escape as they were sleeping, there is over 5k injured right now and the estimated death count surpasses 16k.
The entire army and the special forces have been directed to the area to aid the rescue effort with many nations directing aid to Türkiye.
There is literal people, sharing their and their family's locations on Twitter, under the tons of rubble for the authorities to find them. over 140 THOUSAND building are reduced to dust and foreign report that the damage costs are estimated around 3 billion USD.
As a Turkish citizen myself, although thankfully not affected by it due to living far more west, I am devastated and exhausted by this. That my nation who is already struggling from many angles, stuck by such a natural disaster that affects so many people. It's just so exasperating.
For the ones who are eligible, I really really urge that you donate to the Turkish Red Cresent and AFAD (The Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Office) to help the thousands and thousands of people struggling for their lives. I will be personally donating also and they accept donations in USD and Euros. For the ones not available to donate, plase share this post around more communities so we can spread the awareness of the situation to more people. I am linking the necessary websites below. (THE WEBISTES HAVE AN ENGLISH OPTION IN THE TOP RIGHT)
Stay safe everyone

TURKEY NEEDS HELP!
Hello everyone... in my country, turkey, also syria and lebanon there was a BIG earthquake, we could be really happy if you could help us and at least share on here, other social platforms and Everywhere... Thank you so much from now 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Here is the details:
More than 1,300 people were killed when an earthquake struck central Turkey and north-west Syria, in one of the most powerful quakes in the region in at least a century, while a second powerful shake hours later threatened to overwhelm rescue efforts.
Thousands more were injured as the quake wiped out entire sections of major cities in a region filled with millions of people who have fled the civil war in Syria.
The magnitude 7.8 quake, which hit in the early darkness of a winter morning, was followed by a second, 7.7 quake in the middle of the day on Monday, as rescuers in both countries were still attempting to search for survivors.
Kardeş ülkemiz diye demiyorum, gerçekten mükemmel insanlara sahip. Bunları görmek mutlu edici.
Bağış yapmak isteyen herkesi bekleriz!
The deadliest Earthquake to have happened in over 500 years has just hit Turkey and Syria, in just one day over 5000+ people have been killed and 20,000+ have been injured with casualties increasing as I’m typing this.
Turkey has called for international assistance and multiple countries have already sent aid to them and the internet is filled with links for reliable charities for you to donate, all you need to do is type “Turkey” + “donate” in the same sentence and click search.
Syria, as you can see here on the map, hasn’t received any international aid due to the corrupt Assad’s regime and all the sanctions the country has, not only that, but Turkey has closed the border with Syria, meaning whatever aid/volunteers arrive in Turkey will not be able to cross to Syria.
Not to mention that there have been some sick people online, mostly Zionists, who will deliberately post reliable charities and claim that they’re a scam/have connections to terrorism to discourage people from donating to them.
So here are some links to charities that are currently helping Syria through this Earthquake, please donate or at least share if you can:

“On Friday evening, people in southeast Berlin felt the ground below them move. The 1.4 magnitude tremor was felt at precisely 8:58 pm in the evening, at the same time as Florence And The Machine were on stage at the Tempelhof Sounds festival in Berlin’s now-shuttered Tempelhof Airport, prompting people to wonder whether the outdoor event with 60,000 attendees was truly an earth-shattering show.
Florence And The Machine’s set-time was at 8:30 pm, and looking at the setlist, about a half-hour into the show, it’s a good bet that the band was playing either the classic, “Dog Days Are Over” or the emphatic “Free” off of the new album, Dance Fever. German outlet rbb|24 reports that someone at the show indicated, “…There was a moment around 9 pm when quite a few jumped at the same time. You could also feel the vibrations on site.” Could this really have caused such an impact? Data scientist Jens Skapski seems to think so.
“The signals probably go back to a concert. We don’t usually have earthquakes in Berlin, that’s why I wanted to know more about it,” Skapski told rbb|24. According to the rbb|24 report, “Three private seismological stations in the immediate vicinity of Tempelhofer Feld registered an above-average deflection, 1.4 on the local magnitude scale.” It lasted close to a minute, which makes it more of a tremor and not necessarily an earthquake. Skapski adds that “It’s equivalent to a small earthquake,” but that, “A natural earthquake would be shorter and with a higher frequency.”
So while we already knew that Dance Fever was a banger of an album from Florence Welch and company, this takes it to a whole new level.”

oh my god, i just read some news about an earthquake in turkey, are you okay??
hello anon, thank you for checking in with me! I'm thankfully not that close to Kahramanmaraş where the M7.7 earthquake happened, me and my family made it out of our building safely and were only frightened.
For those who don't know, the southern part of Turkey (Kahramanmaraş as the epicenter) along with northern Syria were hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 followed by aftershocks and another wave of a 7.6 magnitude hours later. I cannot speak for what's happening in Syria but they are in dire need of help as well.
The entire region is devastated with more than 3000 deaths (and counting, news channels are hiding the real amount, or so they say) and 10s of thousands of injured and an unfathomable amount of people still stuck under the rubble, it has left hundreds of thousands homeless. The earthquake hit 4 a.m. at night, so many were caught defenseless and disoriented in their sleep.
The damage is this unbelievably devastating because the southeastern areas are criminally underdeveloped, and help cannot get anywhere in time due to collapsed roads and because the ratio of helpers to those who are in need of help are severely lacking. In some areas, people have been waiting for help for an entire day now, and no government aid has arrived.
We are in the middle of a snowstorm and people are dying of hypothermia if not from fallen buildings. Don't go searching for these videos if you're faint of heart, but I have to say that people are sending help calls and videos from under the rubble, some cities and towns still haven't received any support at all and people are still under rubble. The way their loved ones are trying to lift rocks and debris with their own hands is just... saying it's extremely upsetting is an understatement. The numbers of collapsed buildings and those fighting for life under are unfathomable.
It's so bad that Turkey has declared a state four level emergency, it's an international call for help.
Thoughts and prayers are heartwarming and mean a lot, but if you're able to donate just one dollar/euro or anything at all, please do. Turkish Lira is at an all time low right now, we are in the middle of an economic crisis. Imagine some currency is 20 dollars each, that's how bad it is.
1 dollar = 18 turkish liras 1 euro = 20 turkish liras
Therefore, this kind of money is lifechanging right now, so don't feel bad you aren't doing anything by donating so little, you're making considerable change. If you're able to help, please help.
Here are places you can donate to and explanations of the work they do

Thank you for taking time to read.
The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.
If you could donate PLEASE do!!!
Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Well, this has been a bit overdue...
Reuters is reporting it (via emsc) as 4.8-5 on the Richter scale.
There was a little one on Tuesday. I was wondering whether we might hear something more along these lines, a few days along...
Be safe, everybody!!
ETA: The EMSC data page for this quake is here:

I was asked to create a .gif of a house interior during an earthquake. The article chronicles the controversial aftermath of the devastating quake that happened in L’Aquila, Italy in 2009. I wanted to capture the movement of the “tremors” before the full-on earthquake, although this tremor is infinite, never resolving. This image and the all the animation was made in Photoshop. thanks AD Erich Nagler!
