A Deadly Earthquake in Turkey
The numbers were all big, and all bad, and if this wasn't the big one, it
was close enough. The earthquake that hit western Turkey Tuesday morning at
3 a.m. local time weighed in at a heavy 7.8 on the Richter scale, a number
that placed it in the neighborhood of the big (7.9 magnitude) San Francisco
quake of 1906. More than 1000 people are dead, a number that will
undoubtedly go up.
