At sea just outside Marmaris......

Does anyone know wether Marmaris was affected like the daily fail and other crass media are suggesting, cause didn't feel a thing here and they're saying tsunami devastation there?

Anybody know people there?

Stay safe!

It would appear Kos is where most damage, and injuries happened - at least according to the BBC.

How scary! I was in Bodrum a couple of weeks ago. Would have been terrified to have been caught in that as I still have vivid and terrifying memories of experiencing the biggy in Calis a few years ago!

2 people have died in kos/Bodrum and there are various injuries from falling rubble...Awful...thoughts and prayers with the families.

HUGE....Four inch tsunami.

Hotels flooded in some areas. Gumbet I think got it bad.

Upgraded to 6.9 on some sites.

What would you put in your emergency earthquake bag?I put a photocopy of passports,water,a warm top,some old  sandals,a torch and sweets.

Sandals would not be a good idea in a proper emergency as there will be a lot of debris and broken glass to contend with.  Decent walking boots or something of that sort would be necessary.  Also drinking water will be a huge problem.  You would also need to have a first aid pack.
