–

Update 21:21 UTC : Below a very scary seismogram recorded at a seismograph in Antalya (close to the epicenter)

Update 21:19 UTC : Cirali and Finike are the 2 locations closest to the epicenter but this is in this case less important because of the deep hypocenter.

Update 21:17 UTC : Because of the many tourists in the area who are not used to feel earthquakes, this must have been the experience of a lifetime for them. An additional reason that we do not expect damage is that the epicenter is out in the Mediterranean

Update 21:15 UTC : We do not expect a lot of damage because of the depth of the hypocenter (breaking point generating the earthquake)
