earthquake in Turkey – but far away from us!
Tom Lloyd | March 8, 2010Just in case any of you are concerned, yesterday’s 6.0 earthquake, which has cost 41 lives so far, is in southeastern Turkey, 621 miles from where we are in Eskiseher, so we are in no danger from this event, and it is highly unlikely another quake will follow before our departure. See www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ for details (it hasn’t made the NYTimes web site yet).

thank you Tom for letting all of us know; there has been deep concern. Alison
