Hi, There was a strong earthquake in eastern Turkey, near Van.
USGS raises a "Red alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. High casualties and extensive damage are probable and the disaster is likely widespread. Past red alerts have required a national or international response. Estimated economic losses are 0-4% GDP of Turkey. " A high resolution Bing image of Van is available, and more streets could be traced from it.
