Earthquake

[Daffodil]

One of the reasons it is a good idea to register at the British Consul if you are a resident is that it makes it easier for the British authorities to help in a rescue situation if it should ever be needed. God forbid this ever happens. It may also help if you just lose documents as well.

An official document in respect of Earthquake Care has been re-released by Fethiye Belediye

I have a Turkish friend who's husband is a geologist studying earthquakes.
They also have a house in Ankara but are staying in Fethiye.

Hope this reassures everyone as much as it did me!

that reminds me of the film twister  where all the experts were moving to the danger zones chasing the tornadoes

I have been sent a map that shows the fault lines around the area and there appear to be two main ones. One that runs east - west along the harbour/karagozler line, and the other north south running vaguely parallel with the new Fethiye prom but a couple of hundred metres inland. These two fault lines actually meet each other at Tasyaka.

So a big CBF hello to all our Tasyaka members, make sure you buy a whistle...

We were there on Sunday and it was very frightening.  We were on our sunbeds by the pool and there was an initial rumbling.  It then felt like someone was shaking my sunbed very violently from behind.  I jumped up and realised very quickly that it was an earthquake as our whole building (with eight apartments) was moving and groaning!  We could hear some crashing inside the apartments, but on inspection (when it had all gone quiet!!) we found that it was basically toiletries and things on top of the dressing table that had been thrown around and no other damage or cracks.  It was very scary, and we quickly got changed and went for a walk to get away from the building in case a further tremor happened.  I still felt wobbly and shaken the following day!.  What was probably worse was the Turkish people sleeping outside that night as they were convinced "the big one" was about to happen!  As you can imagine, we managed to get very little sleep!  Now back in the UK, it all seems like a bad dream; something that never really happened!!!!  Stay safe everyone!  :-)

I am not surprised you are shaken up and I am glad to hear you got some comfort from being in touch with the outside world. 
Your first account of an earthquake brought back to mind my own experience.
I had just returned from town with Lisa,  3/4 year old at the time,  and we had lunch and settled down to watch something.
The handle of the door rattled and I thought it was Gus coming in.   When he didn't I went for a look to see what he was doing..no sign!!  I then went through the house telling him to stop hiding..no sign!!  I went out to the garage and his motor wasn't there!!!
When he came in that night I told him the house was haunted and explained what happened.
I asked him what I should do if it happened again...his words  "don't tell me"
Next night he walked in threw a newspaper at me and  said "there's your ghost"  Earthquake measuring 2 had hit Fife area.
