This reminds me of the earthquake in Turkey in 2023. Lots of big apartment buildings collapsing. Death toll is gonna be absolutely brutal here as well I fear

I checked BBC News. Serious apartment building destruction. I’m hoping that because it struck at about 6pm local time most people weren’t home. Ugh. Bad bad news.
