Please check your property, our next door but one neighbour has a large crack in the wall from the roof down to the floor. I have never seen the locals so animated, this isa big deal.

Really scarey, was lying by the pool watching the garden moving.   Never seen Phil move so fast from the veranda to the garden.  I heard that the tiles in the pool at the Nevada Su have cracked.  My neighbour has friends staying there and they were on the phone to tell him.

Turkish friends just came into house when it started, never seen them move so quick - its the biggest they have ever felt in Fethiye and they have been here a long time.
The new twin minarets on our neighbouring Mosque were still swinging nearly 5 minutes after the initial movement.
There was also a small aftershock about 15 minutes after the big one.

Got a real fright here in Ciftlik. The Turkish neighbours are still outside.
